GENERAL INFORMATION
As the air turns crisp and autumn settles in, this cowl is the perfect companion—warm, soft, and effortlessly stylish. Worked in The Yarn Collective Bloomsbury DK, it pairs two boldly contrasting shades for a striking play of light and dark. The design begins in the lighter colour, then shifts through a geometric mosaic stitch pattern that gently blends the tones before flowing into the richness of the darker hue. The result is a piece that wraps you in comfort while echoing the sharp contrasts and quiet beauty of the season.
