Color

by Federica Giudice

The “Tornanti Cowl” features a stranded colour pattern. The Judy’s Magic Cast-On technique is used for the provisional cast-on, followed by the colour work of the “Tornanti” pattern, which is repeated along the length of the cowl. The two ends of the cowl — the stitches released from provisional cast-on and the stitches of the last worked row — are grafted to close the cowl into one piece. What makes the “Tornanti” cowl unique is the use of the gradient colour of the Fibre Gentili Alpi yarn, which forms the background for the motifs created using the stranded technique with solid colour.

ABOUT THE FIBER

THE YARN

 A  yarn that honors the past while protecting the tomorrow. Alpi brings together the noble Gentile di Lucania - the Queen of Italian Sheep - with an innovative fiber recovered from the Mediterranean Sea. The result  is a yarn rich in character and resiliance, where time-honored pastoral traditions meet forward-thinking innovation. By pairing  an historic Italian wool with a sea-sourced fiber reclaimed from marine environment, ALPI  helps protect natural resources while supporting the preservation of fragile marine habitats.

This is a yarn for mindful makers – one that respect the land, the sea, and the future they share.

THE FIBER PROCESS

All processing takes place in Biella's luxury textile district, home to ancient and invaluable craftsmanship where the human touch still makes a significant difference.

RECCOMENDED CARE

Handle our soft and delightful yarn with care. It's delicate nature requires gentle attention for a soft, airy fluff finish. Be mindful of its fragility when winding and knitting with it. With proper care, your final product will showcase the beauty of this yarn without any compromise in quality.

WET-BLOCKING

  1. Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
  2. Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
  3. Soak work for 30 minutes or longer allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
  4. Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
  5. Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
