Hi, and thank you!

I was watching Gary LaFontaine tie his “sparkle patterns” one evening. I really liked the material he was using. I asked what it was and he replied “It’s an Antrim yarn”.

Well, I’ve es chef great innovators like him up close before. I don’t dnt want to try to replicate Gary’s patterns with any old “Antron yarn”. So I asked if he might be more specific for me. He said “Just go to a Ben Franklin Store and ask for “Dazzleaire”. So I did, and the results were just like his.
I then bought all they had at the store.

Now, I don’t think they carry it anymore, but I have enough for myself. I bought the skeins that have multi-colored variegated strands so I can get just the color I want.
The last time I ran out of it, I found a guy on eBay who sold me a number of skeins.

Long story, short, it is a tri-lobal Antron material. I wanted the same thing Gary was using. Perhaps any such Antron will suffice, but I found Dazzleaire perfect for my purposes.

Hope this helps????
