Knit a beautiful, relaxing cowl with this easy kit from the Restful Range by Gorgeous Alpacas. Designed by Michelle Gladwish, this is a wonderfully meditative project — perfect for knitters looking for something gentle and rewarding.
Unusually, this is not a wraparound cowl but one worn loosely in place — lovely held with a brooch under a jacket or over a sweater to smarten the whole look. So check out the colours and perhaps plan them with your winter coats.
This cowl is from our Restful Range, intended for stress-free easy knitting so you can focus on the conversation, the movie, or just whatever you need to be thinking about. Each pattern is simple to work with, and has been tested on beginners, rusty knitters, and the very accomplished. Everyone reports that the yarn is fabulously soft and lovely to work with — and the styles are very restful to knit, and lovely to wear!

Designed by Michelle Gladwish for Gorgeous Alpacas. All alpaca wool sourced from British and Irish alpaca farms.
This is possibly the best natural yarn I’ve ever used. It’s luxuriously soft and knits up like a dream.
The pattern was indeed restful, so easy but looks fabulous.
The kits were delivered in a couple of days and I love the little tote bags, I’m going to use one for gifting my knits!
Although it online it feels as though you get personal service.
There is plenty of yarn for the project.
Great service and I love the products. The kits are well worth it. I also bought the alpaca fleece in bird feeder it looks great. Hopefully the birds will love it too.
I haven’t actually started the kit yet as I have a new puppy to settle in first
Looking forward to getting started in a couple of weeks
I have bought this as a Christmas present, so can’t really comment on the kit. But loved the yarn colours and the kit choices.
Love the end result and it was delightful to knit with this yarn. Bought the circular meddle but knitted it on straight needles only because I’m not keen on using the circular needle. Only down side was that I used black wool which gives off the dye when knitting. Black fingers and had to rinse a few times in cold water
Hi Ollie2, I am glad you enjoyed the experience. If you haven't used the circ needles, let us know, and we will return/refund. This batch of black wool has certainly caused us problems. There is a note about it on the product page, but amongst all the other facts, it does get lost. I hope your fingers are not still black!xxx
This is such a lovely kit. Soft and so squishy !!
It is a joy to knit! I was doing it as a Christmas gift but it may well be a special gift to myself
Love it
Absolutely love my gorgeous alpaca kit it arrived very quickly ,the pattern is very easy to follow and the wool is so soft ,I love the little bag that comes with it so useful and I must say the company is so helpful if you should have any problems I will certainly be ordering again
