Remember the quote by Mark Twain, "The news of my death is greatly exaggerated"--well, similarly, the news of the death of novelty yarns. In my yarn shop, novelties have remained popular because lots of folks want the high-impact look without lots of sweating and slaving in the knitting. And after an exaggerated 'death,' even the powers that be are now acknowledging that novelty yarn is making a comeback.
Kollage Yarns is one of the reasons why. Kollage is a small American company with all the right stuff in novelties--great color, fine couture-quality fibers, and flair to spare!
Kollage Yarns' Illumination is one of these lovelies. Three different fibers spun together into one beautiful yarn, Illumination includes a pretty ribbon, some sparkle, and beautiful mohair. This muti-fiber, multi-texture phenomenon is any amazing way to make a garter-stitch scarf something to behold, or to add a bit of fancy to the plain knits in your life. On its own, or as a trim, it's lovely.
Illumination is a blend of mohair, viscose and polyamide. Each 100 yard skein has 78 grams. It knits at 16 sts/4 inches on US 8 needles, but will work at many gauges.
This listing is for Illumination in Bluebird, a subtle navy with a little shimmer-great for an evening item.
Illumination retails for $25.00 and more in local yarn shops.
All yarn is brand new, with original tags and has been stored in a clean, smoke-free environment.
