Giant Purls Cowl




When I unpacked the box from Pagewood Farm and beheld the skein of Giant Purls I was smitten. Then I needed to create something instantly with this work of awesomeness. That's when this cowl was born! All you need is one skein of Manos Del Uruguay Wool Classic and one skein of the Giant Purls and a 10.5" needle and a few hours and your ready to go! Feel free to play around and use different yarns or shorten the cowl by casting on less stitches. 


I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

~ 1 Skein of Manos Del Uruguay Wool Classic
