Cables, gorgeous cables. The wonderful intricacy of stitches moving through the surface as if by magic. Are you looking for a project that will produce a timeless accessory? The Yua Cowl may be your next project.
Yua Cowl
The Yua Cowl is the featured pattern in Linda Marveng’s Advanced Cables course. Linda’s design work is stunningly sleek, fashion-forward, and often highly textured with intricate cables. The Yua Cowl is an approachable introduction to her design aesthetic.
Staghorn cables are a perfect introduction to exploring the versatility of reversible cables. The repetitive pattern of the cables, worked in ribbing and garter stitch, allows the knitter to tackle the chart and knit with confidence. The result is a thoughtfully designed accessory. Working through the cowl, the basic structure of reversible cables becomes clear, making other advanced cables a natural next step in your learning.
SweetGeorgia Merino Worsted
Linda chose SweetGeorgia Merino Worsted yarn for her Yua Cowl design. The beautiful, soft hand of the easy-care yarn, combined with the vibrant colours, makes for an accessory you will enjoy knitting and even gifting. With over a hundred shades to choose from, you can find a classic colour, such as Brass, or a vibrant one, such as Huckleberry, to accentuate your go-to outfit while keeping you warm.
Once you have three skeins in your favourite colour, you will settle into a lovely rhythm as you knit and enjoy watching the cables emerge in the fabric as it grows on your lap.
