You will not be unhappy with this yarn
This was my first time working with DK weight yarnand I absolutely love it! I made a beautiful shawl using a moss stitch pattern by Hooked By Robin. It turned out gorgeous! Highly recommend this yarn. It's beautiful and very soft. It also drapes very well!
Very beautiful color and easy to use. I made Mj’s sweater for my grandchildren.
Very nice, soft yarn. Easy to work with during the project.
I really enjoyed work with this yarn. The colors are vibrant and beautiful.
I'm incredibly happy with the way the colors blend together with this yarn. It's a pain to frog, but using my little scissors to snip the halo around the yarn has been helpful.
Can't wait to complete this sweater!
Colors are very pretty but the yarn goes from normal thickness to extremely thin and even has areas not spun where it just comes apart and has the unspun area has to be cut down and knotted together or you have some that is extremely thick.
Thank you for your feedback on our Mary Maxim Prism Yarn. We apologize for any inconsistencies in the thickness of the yarn that you experienced. It is common for roving yarns like Prism to have this issue, as they are unspun. This might make the yarn challenging for some users, but it is still a fantastic choice.

I’ve been watching my favorite pattern designers use Prism yarn for a while now, and I finally ordered some for myself. The colorways are so mesmerizing. When they arrived, they didn’t disappoint! The colors are so rich, they seem to glow from within. The feel is soft
I absolutely love this yarn!! Made some of Mj’s beautiful trees! I wish it was available in Australia as the postage is crazy atm but it was a little treat for myself. Highly recommend!
Beautiful yarn. Colors were true to picture. Yarn is very soft and worked up nicely.
The ball I received does not match the picture at all. The yarn is broken and tied to a new piece in multiple places so that the colors don't change smoothly, and each time it changes it changes to brown. I bought this for a project that I planned to be varying shades of blues, but instead the brown completely drowns out the blues. Very disappointed, I'll buy from a different store next time.
This yarn is a dream to work with and turns out a super smooth and soft product.
