Project Ideas:
Irresistibly cute yet snugly and warm, the Sly Fox Cowl by Ekaterina Blanchard is a perfect blend of form and function. Available from baby through adult sizes, whip one up for a favorite person in your life!
Local designer Olga Buraya-Kefelian’s Boshoku Cowl would be perfect for a few skeins of Audubon Bulky. Pick up two skeins in your favorite color for a slightly narrower cowl and give the tuck stitch (part of the brioche family) a try!
The Aurora Glacier Hat and Reggie’s Cowl in the Elemental Fiberists pattern collection by Susie Allen are both 1-2 skein projects perfect for gifting or last minute winter accessories. The hat highlights a simple seed stitch pattern that works wonderfully with bulky yarn while the cowl is perfect for the men in your life that has just enough texture to keep the project from getting boring. Be sure to check out the Old Town Capelet and coordinating Fayette Street Blanket from the collection as well.
The thickness of Audubon Bulky also lends itself well to bold colorwork projects. Flame Nettle by Laura Aylor combines the nature-themed colorways The Fiberists are known for with an organic leaf design that is sure to please.
