Angora Cowls

 
 
 
 
Angora yarn does not have memory, the items that made from Angora tend to be drapey.    This characteristic makes it very suitable for making cowls.     The original meaning of a "cowl" is a hood or long hooded cloak especially of a monk but in modern times, a cowl is a draped neckline on a woman's garment.   There are some alternative names for such garment: endless scarf, circular scarf, unlimited scarf, ...
  

The cowl is to be worn loosely around the neck in approximately the shape shown in the photo. 

These three are made from Betty's English Angora wool, available for purchase.  Contact Betty if interested.
