INGO is a neck warmer long enough to pull up around your ears during cold Minnesota winters. Or fold it over, turtleneck style. Front and back “bibs” keep INGO in place under your coat, and keeps the drafts out. All were requirements of my partner, Mark, who asked for this design. His other requirement? A yarn soft enough to wear next to his skin without a hint of irritation. Woolfolk’s Får is exactly that yarn; it’s the softest merino wool you’ll ever touch.
