Anadrom Cowl

This beautifully detailed cowl features an array of patterns and textures that emulate fish scales, tails, and waves. Named ‘Anadrom’ after fish that leave the sea and migrate up rivers, this cowl is full of movement and cleverly placed details. The motif of a fish is created with twisted stitches, cables, and a passed over stitch fish scale pattern. Textured stockinette panels of increases and decreases create a wave pattern in the background of the fish motif.
Anadrom Cowl is knit in Cumbria, a worsted-weight yarn blend of Masham wool, Merino and mohair. The resulting fabric is soft yet sturdy, with an incredible stitch definition that makes this cowl’s all-over texture vividly stand out.
The Almanac Series III
The Anadrom Cowl is part of The Almanac III Series which is an ongoing collection celebrating each month of the year with a Yarn of the Month. It is based on the original farmer’s Almanac, a nature-inspired guide to the seasons. In our first two Almanacs, we looked to land with our theme of herbalism. Then to the skies, with our theme of astronomy. Now we look to the seas.
Our third Almanac Series is inspired by the oceans to acknowledge the importance of maintaining a balanced and thriving ocean ecosystem. The moodiness of the deep ocean, the chill of polar seas, the patterns and rhythm of the winter swells, and the great migrations of sea birds were some of the inspirations behind this Almanac Series.
We invite you to feel inspired by the high seas and explore this theme with us.
