Beaded Yarns

Week 17 = Luxury Yarns
Day 4 = April 26, 2014


     Beads can add so much to a yarn. Now I am not talking about adding beads while you are knitting. I am talking about yarns that have beads already on it. They can add a little bit of flash or make a subtle statement.


     Artyarns has many beautiful colors of their Beaded Silk Light Yarn line. According to their website the yarn is a "exquisite beaded silk yarn that knits up into an absolute jewel of a garment. Use it in a knitted scarf, or as a trim on a garment using artyarns regal silk, and you will know the meaning of 'heirloom'. "

     Latifi Silk is another lovely beaded yarn which is based in India. The range of color and glimmer of the beads makes for a very nice combination when knitting. I have not yet had a chance to knit with a beaded yarn, but I can imagine making a beautiful evening wrap for special events.
