We are so happy to have Dos back in stock!  Vibrantly colored and super soft, this yarn is easy to love and hard to come by.  Take a peek at our lovely colorways.  This versatile two-ply yarn can be worked as a fingering or sport weight, and did we mention how squishy it is?  A fan favorite at an amazing price (just $9.98), this yarn will fly off the shelves. Get it while we have it!

Superfine Merino is back!  An unbelievably soft merino wool with the micron count of cashmere, Superfine Merino is an ImagiKnit exclusive.  Available in both 100 grams and 50 grams skeins, this yarn is beautiful and luxurious.  Superfine Merino is beloved among staff and customers, so grab it while you can. You deserve it.

We are happy to announce that Serendipity Needles are back in stock.  These super sweet needles, including a rainbow-topped ImagiKnit exclusive, make great gifts for the knitter who has everything.  You can shop happy knowing your dollars are hard at work supporting a company that employs physically and mentally handicapped adults.  Check out the full range of these needles here.

Isn’t it heartbreaking to knit a sweater that just doesn’t fit right, after all that work?  Bring in two sweaters, one that fits you well and one whose fit is not so great, some photos for sweater inspiration, and the amazing Barbara Paley will help you custom-tailor a stunning sweater.  This thorough workshop spans four weeks and covers plan-ahead finishing techniques as well.  You can check out the full course description in our class catalog. We are confident you’ll love this class as much as the other happy knitters who shared their experiences with us.

“By taking ‘Design to Fit’ I now truly understand the value of knowing ‘stitches per inch’ and how to apply that knowledge to create sweaters that fit me.” – Mary

The honey cowl, a hypnotically beautiful infinity scarf made from Tosh DK, or Tosh Merino, proves year after year to be a crowd-pleasing pattern. Using one to two skeins for a single or double wrap cowl, this accessory sits pretty against your neck in any of the expansive Madeline Tosh colorways.  Stop by the shop to see any of our many honey cowls in person.

Bandwidth, designed by Stephen West, is a great opportunity to combine bright colors and neutrals.  The hat uses one ball each of two colors of Tosh Vintage.  This would also be great in Pashmina Worsted.

Consider Torchere as your contrast color (the band)

and Whiskers as your main color (the body)

Or maybe Spectrum

and Cloak

Pick your own colors! The pattern for Bandwidth is available in West Knits Two.

Want a quick little knit for MadMay?  Consider Dandelion Air: a lightweight, wispy shawl using a little less than one skein of Tosh Merino Light or Tosh Sock.  The sample features Tosh Merino Light in Candlewick.  We’re giving away this pattern for free with the yarn to make it – one skein of Tosh Merino Light or Tosh Sock.  Interested in the pattern?  Please mention that you’d like the pattern “Dandelion Air” in the special instructions section at check-out and we’ll send it right over.

Worked up in Pashmina, this 3-4 skein top is drapey, soft, silky, and vibrant. Consider the color “Vermillion” to whip up a sweater like the one in the photos, or pick your own warm-weather hue from any of the brilliant Pashmina colorways.

The pattern for the Eclipse Top is available in the Summer 2013 issue of Knit Scene.

Here is the lovely Carol modeling her crocheted ruffling scarf out of Madelinetosh Pashmina if Forestry.  Carol chose a soft, drapey yarn making her scarf flouncey and flowy.  Carol’s a knitter as well and learned the skills for this project through our Crochet 101 class.

The pattern, Spring Frills, is available for free online.
