Completed crochet cowl made from cormo & merino. I ended up adding additional edging details because the cast on and bind off didn’t visually match. I might do this again with different handspuns. Base pattern is by CrochetTheHighway.

This is made using my ‘sunburnt country’ handspun spun which is marled 2ply yarn burnt orange/yellow/red plyed with a teal blue/green. I intentionally made the shawl longer so that…
