Spend the winter wrapped in thick wool fur. Substantial and warm, the Tephra hood boasts a gorgeous fur scarf and oversized fur trimmed hood, created in soft 100% wool roving. A must have for cold weather activities.

Note: the construction method used to create the fur on the hood and scarf is an easy, non-knitting technique. Patience is required. :)
