TUBA is a handsome cowl, quickly knit. High ‘apparent value’ makes it a perfect gift. The almost architectural depth of texture comes from a seldom used but easy technique called Float Stitch. The design is by Roxanne Seabright (Rox), founder of Artfibers, the mill that produces the yarn in the pictures.

We show it here in the Artfibers ‘big noodle’ yarn, UDON (named after a Japanese round noodle). UDON is a cushiony soft pure fine merino wool that looks and feels like felt. Spun for us in Italy, it’s hand painted in the US by our model in these pictures, Noelle.
