Description

This is one of the softest cowls I have ever made. The natural grey comes from my favourite blend of yak fibre, merino and silk: a lofty and luxurious yarn, which weaves into a wonderfully light and warm fabric.

From a distance the impression is of a gently textured design, but – when the light catches it just so – you can see the underlying pattern of repeating and reflecting waves. The contrast edge is naturally dyed with cochineal.

Every cowl in the Graphic collection is individually woven in a unique combination of pattern and colour. There will never be another one like yours.

Dimensions

This cowl is 31 cm deep x 71 cm in circumference (or approximately 12 x 28 inches). I tend to favour a fairly loose-fitting cowl, not too snug under the chin, so that is how I have constructed this one.

To prolong the beauty and brightness of your naturally dyed handwoven cowl, please have a look at this care information.

Story

The graphic design of these elegant cowls further develops my ‘lockdown collection’ of simple materials which began in 2020. I’ve scaled down the wave pattern from these over-sized scarves and added a contrasting selvedge for a colourful flourish. There’s also a new design based on circles – check it out here.

This cowl was woven on my 16-shaft Louet Megado and then sewn up with a flat fell seam so that it is comfortable to wear.
