New Shipment of Tosh Merino Light has Arrived

Madelinetosh's Fall 2012 Colorways 
in
Tosh Merino Light!


A soft single-ply fingering yarn Tosh Merino Light is crafted of 100% superwash merino wool and is machine washable. Each skein is put up with a generous 420 yards/384 meters.



One skein is enough for a pair of socks and two skeins for a full sized lace project, but Madelinetosh's breathe taking color palette will inspire you to knit or crochet pullovers, cardigans, hat & mitten sets and more. 


Each incredibly soft skein is hand dyed in small dyelots and it is recommended you order enough to complete your project.


As part of Sandrasingh.com's commitment to your shopping convenience and to bring you Tosh Merino Light in the widest range of colorways possible you may now order any colorway produced.  You will be emailed with the approximate delivery time and you're welcome to email or call for this information before you order.  


Looking for pattern ideas, the clean lines of Laura Aylor's All the Shades of Truth, Derecho and the City Block Shawl are all knit in Tosh Merino Light.

The Sister Joan Shawlette

Sister Joan by Sivia Harding
 

Knit in 375-750 yards of Fingering Weight yarn there are three sections in the sideways-worked beaded shawlette Sister Joan: the lace edging, the center that widens and then narrows, and a clever tubular edge on top. This cresent shaped design is incredibly graceful to wear, something between a shawl and a wrap.


Follow the links after purchase to download this PDF and visit Sivia Harding to see all her collections.

Win an On the Hudson cowl Kit!
This is the first giveaway to kick off knitting in 2013 and I want it to be very special!  3 lucky knitters will win my On the Hudson cowl pattern and one of them will receive a kit!  The Kit includes 4 skeins of my Sandrasingh 1 Ply Merino Worsted in the colorways of their choice and the pattern!  Good luck everyone!
Stark granite bluffs, fiery foliage, the sound of swiftly rushing, alternating currents, all under a crystal blue sky; this is my view and my inspiration for the On the Hudson!  This cacophony of colors and textures spoke to me when I picked up my needles to begin this design.  I selected a beautiful mix of yarns, my Sandrasingh.com 1 Ply Merino Worsted, Malabrigo Merino Worsted and Cascade 220 Superwash and 220 Wool and stitch patterns that are reversible, so you can relax and enjoy wearing this cowl however you please.

On the Hudson by Lucy
My talented test knitter Lucy knit the shorter version and as you can see her On the Hudson turned out beautifully!  She rocked it in my 1 Ply Merino Worsted in colorways Violet, Scout, Khaki and Sea Voyage.

I'm playing around with a doing the shorter version in a solid, and I'm loving the results.  This is my 1 Ply Merino Worsted in Big Sky.


Goodluck and here's how you enter!


The 3 winners will be announced on Jan. 31st.  The patterns will be emailed to the winners as a PDFs.
