Prism Athena
80% Cotton/20% Nylon/76 Yards
Here is a fascinating yarn: the nylon is a light lofty core, while the silky covering is all cotton. In other words, the mill has taken a knitted cotton tube and filled it with unspun nylon, producing a yarn that is round, springy and has remarkable yardage for a bulky yarn. Unlike knitted tubes that are empty, Athena does not fold as its knitted, producing fabric with a soft cotton that has body, depth and excellent stitch definition. Great for any type of knitting! 3.5 stitches per inch, 10.5 needle
