This hand-painted 2-ply fingering weight yarn brings together the luxury and warmth of superfine alpaca with the squishy softness of Merino wool. Each hand-painted hank has at least 5 colors. The handmade nature of the yarn means there are no dye lots. The color patterning will vary depending on your gauge and project construction. Imagination is wonderful for so many projects beyond socks - envied scarves, soft gloves or mittens and cuddly knits for your favorite baby.

“I’ve decided it’s time to try Knit Picks Imagination and Felici sock yarns. I really like the new Felici colorways…For the Imagination sock yarn, I’ve been pleasantly surprised on Ravelry or in person by colorways that previously didn’t impress me much. The colorways I’ve always liked are…well wait, I really like them ALL to varying degrees.” www.jmfknits.blogspot.com, January 2009

"My favorite thing to knit is socks. They’re small, portable, and they can be as wild as I want. When I found out about Imagination, I was thrilled. Alpaca, my favorite fiber, to make socks, my favorite project! What could be better? The fact that it's machine washable, that's what! It's the icing on the cake for this alpaca fan!"
-Kerin D., Knit Picks Garment Designer

“I just received my order, and I must say I love your products. I am so thrilled with the yarn I ordered, Imagination in Gingerbread House, Wicked Witch and Damsel and Swish Worsted in Lemongrass Heather. I can barely wait to start all my new projects (just have to finish the one I have nearly finished with Andean Silk in Cinnamon). Thanks for the great products and fast shipping.” Michelle K., Knit Picks customer
