£ 22.00
This simple cowl is knitted as a tube then seamed or grafted (depending on your preference) to form a cosy, double-thickness loop. The geometric pattern is inspired the curtain material found in the Aberdeen Beach Ballroom.

The kit includes;

1 skein of Wee County Yarns Kinross 4ply which is incredibly soft, spun by Todd and Duncan in Kinross just down the road from the Wee County (Clackmannanshire) in Central Scotland. Washing the finished item will really let the yarn bloom, the stranding creates a very dense, warm, wind-proof fabric.

1 skein RiverKnits Chimera, a hand-dyed marl entirely unique to RiverKnits! It is a smooth, worsted-spun 2-fold yarn with a lot of lustre and amazing softness. The Bluefaced Leicester breed produces wool that is strong and next-to-skin soft, making it ideal for a the Ballroom Cowl.

and a sachet of Eucalan wool wash.

Although the pattern looks intricate, you quickly get the hang of it. I have started my first cowl using the fairisle method. For my second (I bought two sets) I might experiment using the mosaic knitting method.

Fab yarn in lush colours. Had posy and rainforest. Better than the picture! Would have liked the option of a hard copy pattern. I don't have a printer just now and like to tick off my rows. Good value. Looking forward to.making it.

I was a bit unsure of orange/dark blue combination, but I love it and so glad I chose that option.
