SCANDES-HERLDK-4
SCANDES COWL KIT
Pattern designed by Fiona Munro (from MunroSisters3)
The Scandes Cowl is a tribute to the mesmerizing geometric patterns that dance across the surface of the North Sea's waves, and the towering peaks of the mountains that overlook northern fjords. The captivating display of the contrasting colours create a wearable work of art with no 'back' or 'wrong' side to it. Crafted as a circular tube, it's designed for effortless and versatile wear.
The cowl is worked in the round, beginning with a provisional cast-on and culminating in a graft which seamlessly unites the final round with the provisionally cast-on stitches. The Scandes Cowl is more than just an accessory; it's an homage to the ever-shifting motions of the sea, and the eternal shapes of the mountains, encapsulated in every stitch.

In Stock Yarns: We will pick and ship your in-stock yarn as soon as possible, within a few business days. Please note that if your order also includes dyed-to-order yarns you will need to allow up to 1 - 2 weeks for us to dye and ship your yarn.
Working with Hand Dyed Yarn:While we strive for consistency, due to the hand dye process variations may exist between (and with some colourways within) dye lots. Therefore it is important to order sufficient yarn for your project, and if a uniform result is preferred we suggest alternating skeins. We hope that you will value and appreciate the beautiful and unique creations of the hand dye process and are always happy to assist you in working with hand dyed yarns!
