Twisted Fiber Art, Inc.

Yarn:  Playful.  
Playful is colorful and unassuming.  It is fun to knit with and makes a soft but hard wearing fabric.  Each of its three plies is tightly twisted and then plied together into a balanced, bouncy and joyful yarn with the matte softness of a nice cotton but the memory and hand of a delightful, quality merino.  The yarn and dye connect like long lost lovers with explosive color!  

Playful knits into a fabric with excellent stitch definition, making it a great choice for cables.  The combination of washability and vibrant colors makes it a wonderful choice for baby and child garments.  Socks knit from this yarn will be beloved for years!  Winter accessories like hats, scarves and mittens will hold up well and feel good next to skin.

Angst. Reddish browns and shades of purple combine with piercing blues. The name came from my son who is now a middle schooler. The knit sample is pictured to show in general how the colors interact and move as you knit. The yarn may be different but the size of the stripes will be similar. Keep in mind that each skein is unique and will knit in its own beautiful way.

Skein Design: Organic Stripe. When knit this yarn will stripe organically, blending from one color to another without the abrupt changes and predictable repeats found on machine printed yarns. The stripes vary throughout so shaping will not interfere with the look of your knit garment.
