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

The Short Crimp Cowl is your one skein wonder. A snug, close fitting cowl to really keep you warm on those cold, windy, wintery days.

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
