Knit yourself a magical glow that lights up the night with two of your favorite power colors! Go subtle with soft neutrals, or make your project pop with bold fluorescents. The dynamic duo of one skein of fingering weight + lace weight mohair blend create a rich bed of texture with a super chunky statement cable. I can’t guarantee you’ll be stopped on the street to ask about your gorgeous cowl (because, ahem, you’re absolutely glowing) - but … I wouldn’t be surprised if you are!
