We invite you to visit us at Village Yarns in Toronto to view our selection of Prism Hand Dyed Yarns. Today we give the spotlight to Prism Dover.
Prism Dover was one of the first Double Dye yarns developed by Laura Bryant, Creative Director of Prism Yarns. Double Dyeing is a process where a yarn with two fiber contents requires two types of dye; the end result creates amazing colour combinations and depth.
Prism Dover is available in all of Laura Bryant's hand dyed colors, but with subtle differences.
Dover: 75% nylon, 25% rayon 2 oz/ 150 yds
Suggested Gauge: 16 sts = 4" 6mm/US#10
Prism Dover consists of a soft nylon knitted tube which is then captured inside a rayon railroad ribbon.
The nylon is dyed two or more colors, while the rayon stays white. The rayon is then dyed two or more colors, which do not affect the nylon. The effect is of tiny bits of colored confetti sprinkled over a glistening field of air.
We love Dover for its soft yet crisp hand with lots of body, and for the complex colors. It has spectacular yardage as well, making very light weight garments that hold their shape.
Great as one element amongst other yarns, Dover is perfect for use with Prism StuffTM for a project from the various "Stuff Plus" pattern books.
Here we have combined Dover with Prism Pearls for a cute little shoulder hug designed and knit by Robin Hunter for Village Yarns. The pattern and yarn are available from Village Yarns in Toronto. To order please email us: shop@villagyarns.com
