Cashmere, silk, angora, kid mohair, alpaca, novelty nylons and more make up the Prism Yarn Collection. Prism yarns accept dye well, pill little, and behave themselves once they are knitted.

Since 1984 Prism has endeavored to bring the ultimate knitting experience to discerning knitters. They want you to love every stitch that you make, and strive to deliver the level of quality, ingenuity and delightful surprises that will keep you knitting. We are continuing our winter sale so you will also find deals on many other yarns that are discounted 30% - 40%. Come by the Yarn Garden to stock up for your spring knitting fever!
