The Riverbed Cowl takes its inspiration from rivers abounding in the Cascade Mountains whose beds are lined with rounded rocks and pebbles, polished through time by swift running water. Necessity, of course, also offered it’s bit of inspiration: It is no small feat to stay warm against the maritime winds and chill rains of a Pacific Northwest winter.

The Riverbed Cowl is a super quick and easy knit in a marvelously squishy thick-n-thin yarn. The 100% Blue Face Leicester fiber is the softest you’ll find, and wonderful against the sensitive neck skin. The cowl works for both men and women (and kiddos), and the optional ribbon can add a touch of flare.
