PRESSED FLOWERS COWL

Calling all handspun lovers! We've just restocked Entropy DK, so it's the perfect time to cast on for a new Pressed Flowers Cowl!

Entropy DK shows off all the fun barber pole colors - and it's so soft! We paired a bright colorway with a dark skein of Kebourne Woolens Scout to help all those color changes pop!

This yarn comes to us from Lisa Westra at Feederbrook Farms in Maryland, where she mills, dyes, and spins all the fibers herself! Entropy DK is a 2-ply, DK-weight BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) yarn that's soft and lofty!

We love matching this yarn to patterns that highlight this unique color shifting, like each of the patterns in the Pressed Flowers collection. It's so fascinating to watch this yarn imitate the subtle color variations of botanicals found in nature!

The Pressed Flowers Cowl was designed by Amy Christoffers and is a fun way to dip your needles into the world of slipped-stitch knitting, also referred to as mosaic knitting.

This pattern is knitted flat and when you've reached your desired length, you'll seam your cast-on edge and your bound-off edge together to turn it into a cowl. Although the colorwork looks complex, it's achieved by simply slipping unworked stitches from one needle to the other as you change colors - there are no Fair Isle floats or concern for tension issues here, just easy knitting with plenty of satisfying color!

This cowl is part of the Pressed Flowers pattern collection, which also includes a pullover, cardigan, hat, and triangular shawl all sporting the same botanical motif.
