This long scarf or large cowl is a warm layer for cool evenings, chilly mornings, or anything in between. Water is one of the most prominent features of the Pacific Northwest—ocean, sound, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls define the landscape—and was the inspiration for this design.The winding stitch pattern is rhythmic, fun to knit, and looks good on both sides. Grown, spun, and dyed in the Pacific Northwest, grist creative “maverick” yarn proudly supports local farmers, mills, and family businesses.
