Leif Cowl Kit

By Spincycle Yarns

No two alike. With Spincycle Dyed in the Wool, we promise that you’ll receive skeins that are one of a kind, as special as handspun. The fun here is the simple act of watching colors shift and change as they interact with each other. It’s hypnotic, addicting, and in the end, a beautiful riot of saturated color.

Two kit options: Make Dianna Walla’s Leif Cowl short with one skein of each color, or long with two skeins of each color.

Please note: pattern not included. The Leif Cowl pattern for this kit is in Mason-Dixon Knitting Field Guide No. 3, available in both digital and print versions. Be sure to add a copy of Field Guide No. 3 to your basket at checkout!

This stuff makes us flat-out stupid. We skip dinner, forget to pay bills, ignore the cat. The end of civilization may come because everybody’s knitting with Spincycle’s Dyed in the Wool, but hey—what a way to go.

It’s unnaturally mesmerizing to knit Spincycle Dyed in the Wool. It does crazy things. It shifts right before your eyes. It’s unpredictable and wild and addicting. And when you pair two shades for the Leif Cowl, the drama doubles.

In a world where so much is preordained, when you’ve made so many decisions (dog or cat, paper versus plastic, pro-flipflops or anti-flipflop), Spincycle reminds us that sometimes we need to let go and let it rip.

This 100% American wool, superwashed, dyed by hand then millspun, is like no other. We are proud to contribute to the mass hypnosis caused by this extraordinary yarn.

Please note: pattern not included. The Leif Cowl pattern for this kit is in Mason-Dixon Knitting Field Guide No. 3, available in both digital and print versions. Be sure to add a copy of Field Guide No. 3 to your basket at checkout!
