Wool And The Gang has returned in a big way at this week at Still Life For Her. The do-it-yourself and ready-to-wear fashion brand was a huge hit last season at our women's shop. Their DIY kits contain everything you need to get started with knitting. The ready-to-wear pieces are unique, they have been hand knitted by wonderful artisans in Peru. We've restocked with 100% Peruvian Pima Cotton and 8MM/15MM Wooden Knitting Needles as well as Sissi Scarves and Supremes Sweaters ready-to-wear garments or DIY kits. Keep reading for a run down of what's new from WATG at Still Life For Her.

• The Lacey Sissi Scarf available in Ivory: The ideal scarf for spring through fall - long and loose, ladders and irregular techniques to make it casually chic. The unique softness and luster of the cotton used by WATG are the result of Peru's sunshine and fertile soils where it is grown and carefully hand picked without herbicides. Scarf Kits contain 4 balls of WATG’s 100% Pima Cotton, 1 pair of 15mm (19US) wooden needles, 1 Lacey Sissi Scarf pattern, 1 knitter’s sewing needle, 1 WATG goody. Kits available in Ivory/Nude Pink/Timber Wolf.
• The Supremes Sweater available in Timber Wolf/Eagle Grey/Ivory: Motown gave us The Supremes, and WATG still think that three is the magic number. The new Supremes Sweater, in a super soft 100% cotton is perfect for spring, and comes in three distinct styles. The simple wide-necked, short-sleeve shape can be knitted in either garter, moss or holey stitch—giving you the choice of three tops that are sisterly, but definitely not the same.

Wool And The Gang is the story of a family, a know-how transmitted to the next generation, re-invented, self taught, a bond between gang members, a gang of knitters, guys and girls from 7 to 77 years old, all tied together by a piece of yarn… Knitting has never been more glamorous, simple and a unifier of fun and pleasure.
