This colorwork cowl combines a couple of our favorite things: color and cashmere. Our Elmer and Elmer Tweed bases shine in this simple stranded pattern – and just wait until you feel the fabric! We think you’ll really enjoy the shaping built into this piece too – it falls into a cozy cashmere-forward “puddle” around your neck.

Elmer Tweed Fingering
We just had to have us some tweed— some Elmer Tweed! Elmer Tweed is woolen spun with more than just a pinch of cashmere. It has a rustic essence and a beautiful richness. It’s fantastic on its own and perfect for colorwork. This tweed holds its shape beautifully while remaining lightweight. The little tweedy bits of color keep you wanting to knit “just one more round” in anticipation of what bits will appear next. This incredibly plush yarn will bring you right onto the tweed bandwagon if we do say so ourselves! (Elmer Tweed is 70% wool and 30% cashmere.)
Fingering Weight: 200 yards per 50g skein / 400 yards per 100g skein
Hand wash suggested. Lay flat to dry.
