ROCK, PAPER, SILK Infinity Cowl by Sandy Rowney
Shibui Yarns are known for their unique fibers and their yarn blending techniques. I created the Rock, Paper, Silk Cowl by using my own ideas on blending four Shibui yarns (Pebble, Twig, Vine and Tweed Silk Cloud) and switching yarn blends often during the knitting of each panel of my design. I was extremely happy with the outcome. Hope you will enjoy this fiber blending adventure and the beautiful outcome of this exquisitely textured cowl.
