Polkadrop Cowl kit: Trust In Trees & Reflecting Pond
Polkadrop Cowl kit: Trust In Trees & Reflecting Pond
This kit is specially designed for knitting the Polkadrop Cowl, which pairs a beautifully dappled mohair/ silk laceweight gradient with a rich tonal fingering weight skein.
The Fuzz in this kit, called Trust In Trees, is medium leaf green to minty green and aqua green dappled with leaf green to acid green (50g, 72% kid mohair/ 28% silk, 420 m/ 459 yds). It is paired with a skein of Four Quarter in Reflecting Pond, a bright turquoise blue, dappled with lighter aqua and darker turquoise, plus a touch of yellow-greens (100g of 100% superwash merino, 400 m/ 437 yds). This combination is really bright and joyful, with the blues and acid greens playing off each other.
Polkadrop is a free pattern, designed by gobsmacked yarn founder Marit Munson, that is available in the Winter 2023 issue of Knitty.com.
Note: The delightful mohair halo of the Fuzz often makes these gradients appear to have very smooth colour transitions, but most of the Fuzz gradients are in fact softly dappled.
