THE PATTERN
From Andrea Mowry:
I love this style of cowl for colorwork, as it is perfect for when you don’t want to have to weave in lots of ends, and you always have the right side facing you! Plus, it happens to be one of my favorite accessories to wear thanks to its easy styling - just pop it on! I was craving the coziest cowl ever, so I reached for some Suri Alpaca, which I held double, and then paired it with a color-shifting yarn to make it extra dynamic.
THE YARNS
Farmer's Daughter Suri Alpaca base has us saying ‘Oh Dang!’ every time we touch it. Blended with silk for strength, Oh Dang! adds a fluffy halo to what you are stitching. A great alternative to those who are sensitive to Mohair but still want to get the feathery texture in your knits. 74% Suri Alpaca, 26% Silk; 328 yards/300 m in 50g; Heavy laceweight brushed suri; Hand Wash
From Spincycle, Dyed in the Wool: sport weight • 100% superwashed American wool • 200 yards per skein • hand wash cold, lay flat to dry • GROWN IN THE USA • DYED & SPUN IN WASHINGTON
Urth Spiral Grain consists of three colorful plys twisted together to mirror the unusual spiral grain growth patterns found in trees. Gradual color changes with a visual depth in texture offer an engaging and delightful knitting experience. 100% Extrafine Superwash Merino; 198 yards/50g; Hand wash
