in the back room of the Urban Fauna Studio.
I love everything about this - the shoes, skirt, turtleneck, tights...
And that knit cowl.
The big, burly guy who owns the shop glanced over, and said the words I longed to hear: "Oh, yeah. We have that pattern.".
The pattern is from Imperial Yarn, a family owned and operated ranch located in Maupin, Oregon.
Once a year, they shear the wool from the sheep, then transform it into a wide selection of fibers and yarns, without harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, leaving it naturally soft.
The wool used to make this "Sumptuous Cowl" is called 2-Strand Pencil Roving. I'd never seen this before! It's incredibly soft, and comes in "cakes" rather than skeins.
The cowl is knit with strands from 2 cakes held together (so, 4 strands in all!), and is all knitting and purling, so its quick and easy.
And gorgeous!
Now I just need to find those shoes...
