A String Special at 20% off
|
The Soho Sparkles and Gramercy Glitter sweaters are 20% off!
Our new Soho Sparkles (top) was an instant hit when we introduced it at the Tahki Stacy Charles fashion show at Vogue Knitting Live in New York two weeks ago. The subtle shimmer of S. Charles Crystal together with String's own Dolce (100% cashmere) in Mushroom is so up-to-the-minute elegant that it elicited amazing oohs and aahs from the fashion show crowd! The asymetrical design with an off-center neck, makes one side appear longer than the other, and one arm longer than the other. We enhanced the look by putting a long sleeve on the shorter arm so then one sleeve comes just below the elbow and the other is long sleeved. Soho Sparkles is relatively easy to knit in stockinette, with short rows on the shoulders to ensure a smooth line. We know that it will quickly become a true String classic!
We loved the subtle sequins of Soho Sparkles so much that we couldn't resist creating a second sweater using Crystal - this time even more subtle! The result is Gramercy Glitter (bottom), our color block pullover with the gold enhanced by matching gold sequins. Knit in five contrasting colors using Filatura Di Crosa Superior, our favorite brushed cashmere and silk blend, the front and back each has a different color block design, and requires a bit of simple intarsia on the front. We are presenting three different color options, but feel free to design your own. Please call or come to the store for assistance in choosing. We love love love this sweater!! Becky even got whistled at when we were taking her picture!
**Sorry, no yarn substitutions for these projects.

Madison Ruched Ruffles
Typically we introduce our weekly specials with a description of the design. This week we are featuring our fabulous Ruched Ruffle Wrap with the hottest new yarn we’ve had in years - Prism Madison, a sublime blend of 75% Merino, 15% cashmere and 10% silk, dyed in Prism’s incredible array of colors ranging from bright combinations of multicolors to very subtle tonals.
We received our first shipment two weeks ago, and it has flown off the shelf. We have already sold out of more than half the colors and have placed a large reorder. We have never seen a new yarn sell so quickly! We are offering “pre-orders” for the colors that have sold out and have been reordered. This way you will be able to reserve the color before it comes in.
The Madison Ruched Ruffle wrap is an easy knit in stockinette. After completing it, you simply drop stitches where the chain will be placed, and you knit the chain, again in simple stockinette, and you crochet or “finger” crochet the chain into place. The result is a show stopper. We guarantee that it will become a favorite part of your wardrobe. This week’s special is a MUST KNIT!!
