How to... Shadow Knitting and another hand dyed yarn offer!

Shadow Knitting, also known as illusion knitting, is a fascinating "now you see it, now you don't" optical illusion. It may look difficult but it is really straightforward to do - in fact you will only need to know how to knit and purl to try out this fun technique and achieve stunning results!

Debbie's latest How To... article on Shadow Knitting is in the April issue of Simply Knitting magazine and is in the shops now. Once you've followed the easy step-by-step instructions and photographs to master the technique you'll be ready to try your hand at Debbie's "Star Quality" knitted tote bag with its shadow knitted star design. Be prepared for some amazed reactions as people see the star appear and disappear!

The bag is knitted in our hand dyed Bluefaced Leicester Aran yarn and Debbie has introduced six new semi-solid hand dyed colours (including the vibrant "Very Fuchsia" pink featured in the magazine) all of which are ideal for shadow knitting. We're offering the yarn at a 10% discount for a limited time only - that's £6.75 instead of the usual price of £7.50! To take advantage of the offer please click here
