grandma’s pea soup cowl, handknit, hand dyed, merino wool, kid mohair

Tempestry knitwear sales help fund the project and the folks behind it — thank you for your support!

The running joke while working on this cowl was that it was a pure comfort knit, soft and cozy and the color of grandma’s deliciously nourishing pea soup. Worked up using a strand of pure soft merino wool held with a strand of kid mohair, this cozy comfort cowl will be a lovely addition to fall and winter wear.

Measures approximately 12″ deep with a circumference of about 24″. Pattern is Emily’s Beaded Helix Cowl, without the beads.

Hand wash in cool water using a delicates soap such as Eucalan and lay flat to dry.

All our work is done in a smoke-free but cat-friendly home. While this particular cat is not prone to playing with yarn, her hair (as any pet owner knows) does occasionally stray.
