This luscious cowl is the perfect all-season accessory. A lofty double knit stitch knit using two strands of lace weight alpaca and silk blend yarn makes for a soft, silky wrap that will provide just the right amount of warmth to keep the chill off without weighing you down. Created with two slightly varying color ways of hand dyed yarn, this cowl produces an ombre effect when wrapped up. An extra long circumference offers many styling possibilities and layers of softness and warmth. Bonus: no purling required!
