Introducing the Long Crimp Cowl, one of my contributions to The Bendigo Project 2026 collection! along with the Short Crimp Cowl and the Staple Poncho.

The Long Crimp Cowl is a looser fitting, lighter-weight option, designed for two colour play. Great for using minis!

Wear the cowl with the point at the back under a jacket for a super warm neck.

Inspired by the natural waviness of wool fibres, the Crimp granny square design embraces this year’s theme of Texture & Twist.

The Crimp Cowls highlight the tactile surface of wool in granny square form, creating an accessory that celebrates the structure of wool.

Sizing and fit
One size. This is a loose fitting cowl.
