One skein (50g/1.76oz) is just enough to complete this fine and lightweight cowl (or scarf).  Looks amazing with a little protection against spring or autumn surprise weather but also a beautiful accessory to compliment any outfit.
The pattern also gives instructions for a crochet scarf, for this you will need two skeins.  If you would like to crochet the scarf then please message me as you will need to buy a second skein.

Victoria has dedicated this little snood to my favourite ewe, Eileen.  Eileen joined our flock from the Millhouse flock when she was 18 months old.  A year later she suffered an eye infection which has caused her to lose some of her vision in her right eye.  This doesn't bother Eileen at all - she's the most friendliest, absolutely fantastic ewe, loves a good back rub and head scratch, raises triplets most years and can eat like a horse!  Eileen had her ninth birthday during lockdown in 2020.

Home Farm Wensleydales produce Wensleydale wool to the highest standard and the ethos of our farm is always animal care, welfare and husbandry first.    

Our luxurious wool is made from our finest fleeces, washed and spun in Yorkshire.  Our wool is soft, smooth and silky, bursting with lustre and worsted spun to ensure great stitch definition. 

Our pure longwool yarns are versatile and can be used for most knitting and crochet patterns as well as the lovely range that we have on offer from Home Farm Wensleydales.
