Over the last couple of years, we have worked with our friends at
Mountain Colors Yarn to create some fantastic exclusive yarn colors available
only at FiberWild! It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but apparently
you have - two of the most popular colors have been
Northwoods Solstice and
Snow Tree. Both are available in
Mountain Color Yarn's Winter Lace Jr., a soft, lace weight yarn in a silk and wool blend. This yummy yarn demanded a great design to compliment the subtle color changes in both
Northwoods Solstice and
Snow Tree . . . introducing my
Wood Smoke Cowl!
This traditional smoke ring cowl, also known as a “wimple,” provides the knitter with the perfect canvas to work delicate lace using the Winter Lace Jr. yarn. The soft blend of silk and wool, paired with a feminine lace pattern, creates a feather light fabric that folds and drapes beautifully. You can wear this light and airy versatile cowl over the shoulder, as a fancy scarf, or over your head to keep you out of the cold without giving you "hat-hair".
The cowl is knit in the round, and measures approximately 36” in circumference at the bottom, 24” circumference at the top, and about 18” long. You will need
just one skein of Winter Lace Jr. and two sets of 24” circulars, a US 5 (3.75 mm) and a US 6 (4.0 mm). We recommend the
addi Lace or the
addi Rockets. The pattern is for the intermediate knitter.
Bonus: The Wood Smoke Cowl pattern
is FREE with the purchase of
any color of Winter Lace Jr. yarn!
So just how many colors is that? In addition to the available-only-at-FiberWild!
Northwoods Solstice,
Snow Tree,
Bozemill Spring and
Sugared Violet, there are ten other in-stock colors.
Love the colors, but just not into lace weight? Northwoods Solstice is also available in Mountain Colors
Weavers Wool 1/4 and
Alpaca Blend and Snow Tree is also available in
Alpaca Blend and
Bearfoot. (But don't try the Wood Smoke Cowl in the other yarn weights - your gauge will be way off!)
You can post your pictures, share your thoughts, and ask questions about my Wood Smoke Cowl or any of my patterns in my
FiberWild Ravelry Group!
Happy Knitting . . . Amy
