Comfort Cowl
In this time of uncertainty, I wanted to design something to knit that took very little energy but allowed the rhythm of my needles to act as a meditation. The result is the Comfort Cowl.
Knit in the round and alternating two yarns of different weights and fiber allows for an easy knit and very little finishing. The yarns are carried up the inside of the tube, so no extra ends to weave in. By alternating our worsted weight Francesca yarn (extra fine merino) with Biella (mohair & nylon), the end result is a beautiful striped cowl with hints of shine.

Please Note |
Due to the nature of hand dyeing and the technique we use, each skein is unique. We dye in small batches, so there are no dye lots. The color, distribution, and saturation will vary from skein to skein. If working on a multi-skein project we recommend alternating skeins to avoid visual color differences, pooling, etc. Keep in mind the actual colors may differ based on the color settings of your screen as well (ie blue light filters). |
