YARN - The After Party 160 The Beaded Cowl

Margje Enting has designed an elegant accessory with a touch of understated glamour that’s perfect for socialising outdoors on cooler evenings. The Beaded Cowl is made with Scheepjes Woolly Whirlette, a luxurious blend of 30% Wool and 70% Cotton that’s fully twined to avoid splitting for fast and pleasurable knitting. Experienced lace knitters will find this an easy project to complete in a weekend and the memorable pattern repeat makes it most achievable for anyone wanting to try beaded lace knitting for the first time. Knitted in the round using a single yarn cake, the lace pattern is highlighted by lightweight Toho glass beads. These exquisite beads are renowned worldwide for their quality and have a larger than standard hole, making them easy to slip onto the knitting using a crochet hook.
