Nature and Artifice: two seeming opposites, but are they really? Who’s to say where nature leaves off and artifice begins?

This collection showcases similar all-over cables worked in dissimilar yarns. The Nature Cowl (and matching hat) uses a thick-and-thin, “intertwined,” super-bulky yarn, to achieve an organic look. The cowl is close-fitting and tall, keeping you warm and snug, like a wild animal in its bolthole for the winter.
