I have been looking for the perfect cowl knitting pattern for ages, but I couldn’t find one that had everything I needed. It had to snugly fit my neck and be warm enough for the Canadian winter, but also fancy enough to wear at the office. So I designed one for myself using some curious yarn from Romni Wools that is made up of microfibre, alpaca, and milk. Yes, milk. I’m not entirely sure what this means, but the end result is a thick luxe cowl that I can’t take off.

The fuchsia look stunning on you. Your cowl turned out just great.
I used to do things like this and lost my know how. I so admire what you did. It’s gorgeous. Found you on artcademy today.
Maybe they dipped the yarn in milk?
Thanks everyone for the supportive comments! Wouldn’t it be strange if they did dip the yarn in milk? I assure you the wool does NOT smell like milk at all…
This is a beautiful pieces of knitting. Thanks so much for sharing with Adorned From Above’s Link Party.
Have a great week.
