The Weathered Wood Cowl is currently only available to members of A Verb for Keeping Warm Proverbial Club.

The weathered wood of the family cottage whispers stories of summers past. Built in 1930 for my husband’s great-grandmother, it became a haven for generations to connect and a place where family memories were woven. The exposed timber walls have aged, dried and shrunk over the years leaving cracks between the rooms and us a little exposed to nature -- completely enchanting.

When the “Weathered Wood” yarn arrived from A Verb for Keeping Warm, it sparked a connection in my heart. The charm, comfort and warmth I cherish from summer days at the cottage are knit into this cowl. May this cowl wrap you in the warmth that I feel when nestled in the cottage surrounded by pine trees.

The cowl is a great first Fusion Knitting project! Watch the Reading Your Fusion Knitting & Four Rules of Fusion Knitting tutorials to get started. The only cables to learn are T1B1 & T1F1.
