Hot off the press, a cowl design for Yellowfarm.
Yellowfarm is a small but vibrant farm and yarn business back from my hometown Guilderland, NY (technically, they’re from Altamont, but Guilderland and Altamont are practically the same place). They grow Wensleydale and American Teeswater long wool sheep. Both breeds are know for their beautiful silky lock structure, which simply can’t be ignored.
Yellowfarm will be featuring this cowl design when they head to Vogue Knitting in NY, NY, and I will be releasing the pattern sometime this spring.
This versatile cowl can be used as both a button-up scarflet or a cowl, and uses thrumming and entrelac. But instead of thrumming to the inside of your piece (which creates some of the warmest mittens you have ever seen), the thrums go to the outside of the work, creating a distinctive pattern.
Working with Yellowfarm was truely a pleasure, and I hope to do it again in the future. Thanks guys for letting me work with your beautiful wool! Good luck at Vogue!
PS: Recognize the model? It’s Ellie again, being a great trooper as I pushed her around on a cold winter day.
