<\/p>\nDo you know Qiviut? I don’t know what the underbelly of a unicorn feels like, but I imagine it must feel like Qiviut!<\/p>\n
Qiviut is the underwool of the muskox and softer than cashmere, warmer than sheep’s wool and doesn’t felt.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the most awesome husband in the world, I have been the proud owner of 50 g of pure qiviut for a few years now, always waiting for the perfect pattern or stitch pattern to come along for this treasure.<\/p>\n
I finally found the perfect stitch pattern a few weeks ago in a Japanese stitch dictionary and made the Watercourse Cowl.<\/p>\n
After tech editing and testing, you can now make your own Watercourse Cowl and indulge in the luxury, be it with qiviut or any other yarn you love!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Watercourse Cowl combines two beautiful, yet easy to knit Japanese stitch patterns and a heavenly luxurious yarn into a stunning, amazingly soft cowl that you will never want to take off!
\nThe stitch pattern is written out as well as charted.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to my tech editor Michelle Hazell and my testknitters iowaknitter, katisha and whizard. Any remaining mistakes are mine.<\/p>\n
