LINUM is the old Latin name for the flax plant, the source of linen. The linen stitch forms the foundation of this cowl, so the name came quite naturally.

The LINUM cowl is a simple yet versatile design, worked in one piece using a main color and a contrast color. Choosing your colors is where the fun begins. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Unconventional combinations often lead to unexpectedly delightful results. So let go, trust the process, and enjoy the ride!
