EXTRA NOTES
This cowl is knit flat, starting at the long bottom edge. As such you can use your preferred needle length; a circular needle is not required.
Written instructions are provided for the entirety of the cowl. Optional charts are provided.
This project uses mosaic knitting to create colorwork motifs. Only one color will be used per row. You can leave the unused color hanging at the edge of the work until it is used again. Do not break yarns unless instructed; this will save on yardage and ends to weave in.
When choosing colors, consider that all of the colors interact except for Colors A and D, (i.e., are adjacent to or are used in a mosaic pattern). So if you love all 4 colors, but don’t want two of them to be next to each other, make those two A and D.
When swatching, use Color A. It uses the least amount of yardage within the project and offers plenty for swatching.
Questions you might have
What's in the kit?
You'll get 4 skeins of Ewe So Sporty in the four colors you choose, plus the Ewe Heart Cowl pattern by Meaghan Schmaltz. Needles (US 4, 32” circular, or your preferred length), two locking stitch markers, a tapestry needle for seaming, and blocking pins or combs aren't included.
I can't find my pattern. What should I do?
The pattern is included with your kit. If you'd like a PDF copy too, you can find it on the Ewe Heart Cowl pattern page, or email hello@eweewe.com with your order number and I'll send it right over.
Is this kit right for me?
This is a Level 3 project. The cowl is knit flat and seamed, with simple lace hearts and mosaic colorwork hearts. Only one color is used per row, and written instructions and optional charts are included, so it's a good fit if you like a pattern that holds your hand. If you get stuck, our Knitting Knowledge tutorials and the Secret Society of Knitters community are here to help, or you can email me.
Will the colors look like the photo?
Screens vary, so a color can look a little different in person. If you're unsure about a combination, email me before you order and I'll help you choose.
Should I order extra yarn?
The kit has the amount of yarn the pattern calls for. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, and I can't always match a specific lot later, so it's better to order extra now if you'd like to make it larger.
How do I care for my finished cowl?
Easy! Our yarn is superwash merino, so you can machine wash your cowl inside out in cool water and tumble dry on low. Lace and mosaic hearts look their best after blocking. All of our yarns are 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed in Italy.
How soon will my order ship, and what does it cost?
I pack and ship orders within one business day, six days a week including Saturday mornings. They go out by USPS Ground Advantage from Oceanside, California, so delivery time depends on USPS and where you live. Shipping is free on US orders over $75 and $5 on smaller US orders, and you'll get a tracking email when your order is on its way.
Can I return my yarn?
Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of receiving them. Email hello@eweewe.com with your name and order number and I'll take care of you. If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, let me know right away and I'll make it right.
Let customers speak for us
Making for Halloween. The colors pop. The yarn feels so soft.
An oops. Plus usually when I buy EWE EWE bundles the pattern is included, not this time.
this Wooly Worsted MerinoYarn is beautiful and extremely soft to the touch. The color is rich and true and will make an amazing looking sweater. I can’t wait to start using this yarn then actually wearing it. I highly recommend this yarn from Ewe Ewe Yarns!
Where is the link to download the hat
The yarn is wonderful and customer service is top notch.
There will be knots in some skeins which is normal. I don't know if this will pill or not until it's knit into something but it's the nature of Merino to do so but that doesn't bother me. I only needed 3 skeins but the price was so good that I bought 5. It's super soft like you would expect and the proper thickness for a fingering sock weight. I split the skeins into (6) 56 to 58 gram skeins and dyed up 5. They took the dye nicely and I am pleased with my results. My yarn was packaged well/nicely and shipped VERY quickly and arrived at my doorstep safe and sound. I would purchase this again.
I ordered the baa bag bulky for my hat pattern, that I also bought from Eye eye yarns. I love this yarn !! It is so nice to work with. It is also soo soft!
I really like the pattern. Beautiful!
I love these little scissors. They fit perfectly with all of my other knitting accessories in my tote and they even have their own case. They are sharp and easy to use!
I am blown away by the feel and quality of this yarn at such a Great price!!!
Love this yarn. Sooo soft and the color is beautiful
Temperature Tee Yarn Kit
I’ve been waiting for the perfect yarn to start on my new wearable and the perfect pattern to do it with. Ewe Ewe has provided both. Not to mention the care and thoughtfulness of Heather, the owner , which makes it all the more fabulous!
I was open, when I ordered more yarn, to receive a different dye lot. I just figured for this children’s sweater I could make it work. Imagine my delight when I received the same dye lot! And quickly! I’m charged and almost finished!
I absolutely love this yarn. I had to buy more to make a hat and scarf!
