The Light As A Feather Cowl design is a collaboration with Campfiber Yarns to explore their gorgeous new Yak Silk DK yarn. The result is a soft, stretchy, lightweight, easy-to-wear cowl, full of beautiful texture. This tube cowl is knit in one solid colour from bottom to top, featuring ribbing on both ends, and deliciously squishy waffle texture in the middle.

Look for my other patterns in the Light As A Feather family!
