It's not often that a new yarn substrate leaves us speechless, but Prismatic truly stopped us in our tracks!

And here's what we're itching to knit with Prismatic! (Hint: Pics with a ⭐ are shown worked up in Prismatic.) From top to bottom, left to right:
- Grid Gambit by Samantha Guerin: Mosaic patterns are an awesome way to show off color-changing yarns! I'd pair Prismatic with Cascade Woolpaka for a quick cozy gift knit.
- Lovage by Amy Christoffers: Super cozy all-over garter stitch open-front cardi! Need I say more.
- Ayla by Ursula McGrath: I love this kids-sized drop shoulder pullover! It's knitted in sizes from 0-6 months to 6-7 years.
- Reba Cowl by Martha Wissing: This underrated pattern combines stripes and mosaic stitches in a simple but really beautiful way.
- Enya by Ursula McGrath: The Enya pullover applies a novel stitch pattern over the whole pullover for a waffle-ish meshy texture.
- Iris by Ursula McGrath: Three patterns for the price of one! This set includes a hat, scarf, and fingerless mitts and is designed for children ages 2-11.
- Aurealis by Jennifer Steingass: Jennifer Steingass is the queen of modern colorwork yokes, and I think this pattern would be soooo beautiful in Prismatic Moonwash paired with Kelbourne Woolens' Germantown DK in Cream.
- Bree by Ursula McGrath: I love the '00s vibes of this hat and scarf set.
- Free for All Cowl by Jen Peck: This free pattern would be so fun in Prismatic! The dramatic chevron shaping would show off Prismatic's color-change beautifully.
- Mad Melange by Victoria Meyers: Imagine this knit up in two colors of Prismatic! It'd be so fun.
