Who doesn’t need a little bling in their life? As sequined yarns have taken center stage in the fiber world, I knew I wanted to create something that highlights the joy I feel when I see these fun sparkles. While my original thought was to create a warm-weather accessory (this color combination really reminds me of summer sunsets), this shimmering cowl is a year-round wearable.
