Menswear - treat him to a cardigan


Alot of the High Street Stores have mens aran cardigans (picture below) price tag around £40 plus. 


Why not knit one for that special someone you know - or he could knit it himself?  Here at Thomas Ramsdens we have a large selection of designs to choose.  One favourite is from our Family Aran booklet 322 which is a unisex cardigan.

Knit in Wendy Aran the largest size 115cm (46inch) takes 3 balls of yarn (rrp from £7.99).  This is still considerably cheaper than most high street stores but with the added quality of the yarn and being hand crafted. 

As always see your local stockist for Wendy yarns and if they do not have this in stock I am sure they would be happy to order it for you. 
Happy Knitting.

Summer Trends

I have been looking on the Vogue.it http://www.vogue.it/en/trends/trend-of-the-day/2010/12/summer-knitwear website at trends.  It mentions twin sets - if you look at our lovely Summer Collection you will see a perfect set to knit in our Wendy Sorrento dk.  It is a cami and bolero "set" which would look lovely with a long silky skirt or with linen trousers.  If you were packing for a holiday the bolero top would be ideal with a long maxi dress for the evening.  So what are you waiting for - get knitting.
