Description
Prism is a colourwork yoke jumper with a geometric design, for fun colour-play with highly colourful marled or variegated yarns. It was remembering that wonderful childhood toy, the kaleidoscope, that set me off doodling prisms. The concentric bands of triangles remind me of the twisting motion that creates endless new views through the ‘scope.
The yoke includes two colourways of our magically-marled Chimera for an indulgent use of colour, while keeping the knitting deceptively simple. The main colour is Severn 4 Ply, a woollen-spun Jacob wool yarn that is as lightweight as it is cosy and warm.
