If you love yarn half as much as I do odds are you’ve picked up at least one skein of beautiful yarn. We’ve all done it then tucked it away for just the right project. Well, I hope the Delphi Cowl is that project. This one size cowl is extremely simple to make and only takes one 100g skein of DK weight yarn. I used my Everyday DK Superwash yarn dyed in my Biscuit Sprinkles colorway. The best part is this cowl really shows off that yarn you’ve been holding on to. Perfect for date night!
