So here’s the deal with the cowls folks! I started making cowls recently for family and friends who are interested in handmade items and looking gorgeous, and I love being asked to make one! They are the only item I can take commissions on at the moment, but I will hopefully be expanding my range very soon.
I use only Australian-made yarn (100% cotton and 100% wool) as I like to support the local industry and keep my carbon footprint as wee as possible. Each one is hand-made entirely by me in the spare room using my vintage Singer 323 knitting machine and then hand-sewn. At the moment I only make to order, so cowls can take a little time as I order the yarn and only get to play on the machine when the kids are at school!
Cotton cowls are perfect for Spring and Autumn and have a beautiful sheen and drape, while the wool ones are cosy and snuggly for when the weather gets a bit chillier. Cowls are brilliant as they keep your neck warm without any flappy ends to get caught in car doors or irritate you when you sit down at your desk (or that might just be me…) like scarves. They are also great if you have little ones to chase after and lug around as they stay put in any situation! These are made in 4 ply yarn so they aren’t too chunky and don’t get in the way.
Each one comes to you in a cute bag which I run up on Grandma’s sewing machine using vintage pillow-cases and thrifted ribbon. No two alike!
If you think you might like a cowl, leave me a comment and I will send you a colour chart and further details. I am just starting this new exciting journey and welcome all comments and and feedback!
