Sally has put together cowl kit using a pattern from Dominique Trad - one of our favourite designers. She has chosen the Good Omen Cowl. The kit includes the pattern and yarn. If you would like your skeins wound/balled then you will need to also purchase the ball winding service.
The pattern is adjustable in size and has both charted and fully written instructions for the colourwork.

C (contrast colour): 100g Either a single colour or a variegated yarn
