Experiment LITE: Prom
In stock
200 yards | approx. 50 grams | sport weight | limited edition
We couldn’t resist adding a little sparkle. Prom is a playful blend of 95% Vermont-raised Montadale and Cheviot wool with just 5% glittering fiber for that extra-special shine. We dyed the wool in the wool—before spinning—to ensure even color throughout the batch and avoid pooling. Soft, springy, and full of character, this yarn is ready to be the life of the party.
Because this wool comes straight from a local farm, you may find the occasional bit of hay or grass—easily picked out and a reminder of just how close to the source this yarn really is. We hope it inspires you to create something magical.

Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.
