Rollo Double Cowl - Merino Possum Kit PRE-ORDER

The Rollo Double Cowl features a traditional Scandinavian style colourwork pattern and includes instructions for 4ply and 8ply yarn weights. It is funnel shaped for a better fit, and is a reversible design with colourwork on one side and stripes on the other.

The name Rollo is a nickname for Rovaniemi, which was my home town in Finnish Lapland for ten years. The design was inspired by the colourwork pattern in Rovaniemi mittens.

• Size 1 (Fingering weight): Top circumference 54cm, bottom circumference 62cm, height 18cm.

Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.

The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.

We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.

Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.

Our yarns come twisted in a skein and will need to be wound into a cake before knitting. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.

Hand wash only as this kit features non-superwash yarn.

Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 

It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.

Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.

We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
