In this cheerful cowl, we chose to mix the warmth and slight halo of Premium Merino Yak with the bold floral colours of Millefiori Light to create an accessory that will keep you cozy and stylish. Let it peak out the collar of your jacket for a touch of spring on a cold day or wear it with a sweater and let its double thickness keep you toasty.

The geometric flower motif evokes the millefiori glass—Italian for a thousand flowers—that gives Berroco Millefiori Light its name. This motif comes from Andrea Rangel’s AlterKnit Stich Dictionary—a fantastic resource for anyone interested in stranded colourwork.
