In 2016 it was time to design a second cowl using my favorite Peruvian alpaca wool. I aimed for a more tailored look, and this big-relief ladder stitch fit the bill. An important part of knitwear design is matching the characteristics of the wool with desired drape and how the cowl lays against the neck. A wool with less weight will feel stiff and uncomfortable. A wool with less softness might be scratchy. This alpaca yarn is heavy and soft and rustic - perfect for this design. The linear and repetitive aspect of the design inspired me to name it NEVE, which is "even" spelled backwards.

The cinnamon color is undyed, a naturally blended alpaca color. Good for you, good for the environment!
