Prism Isms.

The Prism Trunk Show is here! This was a major hit last year, so we brought it back again. It's taken me a few days to get the pictures up, but here's my excuse: Gina Marie took fabulous pics with her ridiculously expensive camera, but they were like, 8 gazillion megs, and I couldn't get them to load. So I added it to Brent's honey-do list (I'm allergic to honeydew, but he's allergic to honey-do) and he has just now had time to re-size these suckers for me.

Everyone thinks of "Stuff" yarns when they hear the name Prism, and for good reason - Laura and LJ personally hand-dye a dozen yarns or more for each "stuff" yarn, then hand-dye them end-to-end into a one incredible skein that "changes and you go." These are incredibly fun to knit with, and come in several varieties - some with mohair or eyelash, some without. My favorite is "Cool Stuff" because I'm allergic to mohair - but they are all stunning. Here are just a few of what we received:

But the Prism line is so much more than Stuff! Prism is truly the Cadillac (or Range Rover) of hand-dyed yarns. They have classic, smooth blends as well as upscale novelty-type yarns. The Trunk Show lets us bring in more lines than we could ever stock, plus beautiful models to touch and feel. Prism is the line for people who want to knit and wear a true original - something that can never be duplicated by the Gap. It's hard to say what is better - knitting with this yummy stuff or wearing the finished piece to endless "oohs" and "aahs." Check out "Manhattan":

The yarns are so unique, we inevitably hear people making up new "ism's" to try to describe them, like "the smooshy-shimmery one" or "the fallish colored one" or "the smooth ribbony one." Gina took some great photos but you really, really need to come and see the show, touch and feel - or if you live far away, call us and we'll help pick out a special skein or project that is just right for you.


We have the show through this 4th of July weekend, then it's back to Prism it goes. Be sure to come by before the "isms" are gone!
