Inspiration:
I have wanted to try cabling without a cable needle for a long time. Finally, the prefect yarn fell into my hands. This wool is amazing to knit with, the stitch definition is amazing and lovely on the hands.
Enjoy this beautiful, simple elegance. Dress it up or dress it down. A versatile and fun reversible pattern.
Why “Bos”? I am glad you asked. Yak belongs to the genus Bos and since this yarn Rocks, I felt appropriate to name is as such.
