In Scottish Gaelic folklore, the beautiful northern lights were known as Na Fir Chlis or “the nimble men”, aka Merry Dancers. Knit with a colourful gradient, the corrugated ribbing and stockinette pattern remind me of the rippling curtains of aurora borealis I’ve been lucky enough to experience several times. Or, turn this reversible cowl to watch the colourful stripes streak across the sky.
