Handspun Cowl Recipe
My default single is a heavy lace/light fingering weight, which results in a chain-plyed finished yarn of a DK/light worsted/worsted weight 3-ply yarn. Nice and round and perfect for knitting. Like most spinners, I’ve accumulated quite a few skeins of this default chain-plyed, 3-ply, color-pooling or self-striping handspun.
Resolved to stop saving handspun for when the Queen comes to call, I have started knitting this cowl as my run-out-the-door, don’t-need-to-think-about-it, but-need-knitting-in-my-hands go-to project. Perfect for meetings or the movies or a waiting room, this is easily knit in the dark. Makes a great gift knit!
Note:
This should be easily adaptable to other weights of yarn. Basic instruction on how to do this included in the download and blog post.
