Vaarie
Vaarie is a Shetland word that means change in direction. This fun Fair Isle patterned cowl takes a change in direction with a moebius twist! This particular motif and colors will be seen in a different iteration in my Shetland Trader Book Three collection coming out in Fall 2021! I had to delay the release of that book due to the pandemic so I wanted to share a little tiny taste of what’s to come!
