AVFKW x Bread & Butter x Tif Neilan - Winterly Cowl Bundle

Happy 2023 Winter Solstice! To celebrate, we teamed up with knitwear designer Tif Neilan to create this gorgeous new pattern: Winterly.

Tif used two colors of our sister yarn company's Bread & Butter Everyday. One dyed by the mill and one dyed by us in our Oakland-based natural dyeing studio. Everyday is made of U.S. Merino wool and milled in the U.S. It is soft and springy, making a cozy, comfy cowl!

Winterly is a bandana-cowl worked from the bottom up, in-the-round. Part 1 includes decreases at both sides of the center slip stitch, to create the bandana shaping.This cowl is designed to be worked in two colorways of Bread & Butter Everyday yarn, a worsted weight yarn.

The color variation is texture is achieved through a variety of slip stitch patterns – no stranded colorwork is involved. Information on working (optional) jog-less stripes is provided to achieve a smoother color transition when alternating between the different color rounds. Lastly, two-color Fisherman’s Rib is worked in the final section for the top edging.

PATTERN
This product does not include the pattern. Please purchase it directly from on Ravelry.

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
