Anatomy of a Cowl

Farm Grown - this cowl began its life on the backs of our beautiful Coopworth ewe, Havva, and our big guy Moe.   Havva and Moe were sheared and their wool was gently hand-washed. Havva's wool was then hand-dyed, but Moe's was left in its natural shades of brown. Their wool was then hand-picked, carded, hand-spun and plied. It is hand-knit on large needles to produce a lovely, light but very warm chunky cowl. 
From sheep to cowl... from our field to your home...

Holiday Knitting



Working hard to make holiday wishes come true... a hat to match Alex's mittens (he's been looking for one for two years), custom, rainbow-dyed purples and black balloon head for a young lady's friend, hand warmers knit to a writer's specs, and so on, and so on...
