Another yarn designed by Barry and one that is truly, truly special. Checkmate alternates between a bright nylon checkerboard that changes into a flat matte’ Nylon ribbon. When the yarn is dyed, the flat ribbon bulks up and the open checkerboard opens out creating a subtle thick and thin against a bright and matte yarn. We’ve dyed Checkmate in wonderful colors letting the colors move from bright to flat as the fibers change throughout the yarn. Besides being a wonderful yarn to knit, Checkmate makes incredible fringe !!! Check out the new colors available for Spring/Summer 2007
