On the edge of Delamere Forest, just behind the welcoming Carrier’s Inn, sits Hatchmere Lake. The captivating view from the Inn was obscured for years by high reeds & brambles, but is now cleared & a very pleasant sight.
The simple cable stitches of the Hatchmere cowl reflects the comings & goings of the Lake’s birdlife & the little prints & ripples they leave behind
This cowl uses 1 skein of Bowland DK in Dianthus. It’s a super soft, strong, buttery yarn made from the finest Bluefaced Leicester wool.
