Aviemore Cowl, Single Sided

The Aviemore Cowl is inspired by the long pole pines in the Cairngorms National Park of the Highlands in Scotland. The Spincycle yarn creates tonal changes through the colorwork, suggesting natural greens and greys of the foggy forests. A folded hem provides a polished edge for a beautiful wardrobe staple.
