Saw the Crystal Falls Cowl on www.lionbrand.com and loved the idea of a big, squishy cowl. I went a bit longer than the pattern because I wanted it loooong. It is now my FAVORITE. This yarn is so soft and squishy and is launders well for very inexpensive yarn. I can wear it long, but my favorite thing to do is double it up and feel the soft warmth against my chin and neck. It’s like wearing a mama’s hug. xox

9/26/13: I’ve been wearing this now for almost 2 years, and it’s still in great condition (as you can see from pic #1, which I just uploaded)…I don’t wear it constantly, but I wear it a lot up here in New England, and it’s barely pilled at all…the yarn has a halo to begin with, so it’s gotten a little fuzzy, but not excessively so…I still adore it
