This cowl is for anyone who thinks of sequins as a neutral or anyone looking for a woolly alternative to a statement necklace. This simple cowl combines a mohair and a sequined yarn for a shimmery treat to wear to holiday parties or just to add a touch of glamour every day.

For our sample and our kits, we chose mohair and Paillettes colourways as similar to each other as possible, but combining contrasting colours would make for an interesting marled effect.
