Welcome to Spindle & Spool where ‘Natural, Slow & Cosy’ is both the dream and the reality. My name is Sue and I am passionate about using natural fibres to create beautiful one-of-a-kind, ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ accessories for you and your home, which are made with love and intention in my little studio in the northern coastal suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. I hope you enjoy browsing and fall in love with something special! As Anna Funicello once said “Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful” xx
This supersoft unisex cowl is hand crocheted using 100% Australian alpaca yarn in all natural 'Grey Storm' from Adagio Mills. The pattern is by Elizabeth Castle from www.castlehandmade.com.au. Alpaca yarn is lovely and cosy and will keep you warm all through winter. The design of this cowl makes it perfect to wear under a coat without adding bulk or on its own as a stunning accessory.
The cowl is adorned with a simple wooden Spindle & Spool button making it an eco-conscious option, as both the fibres and button are naturally sustainable and compostable, ensuring that this handcrafted item can return to the earth after many cherished years, rather than adding to the enormous problem of textile waste produced by the mass made fashion industry.
