The Design "A never-ending loop of color and texture." A pattern designed by Lisa Richardson, the Arabella Cowl is a fascinating combination of clever color changes and textured stitches! It’s constructed as a never-ending mobius loop and uses five different colors and a bit of expert planning to create a range of stripey, graphic motifs—the look of colorwork without the stranding. Generously sized, you can wear Arabella long, or double it cozily around your neck! This mobius cowl was knit in five different colors of Rowan Alpaca Classic. This DK-weight yarn has a cotton net at the core of its strand that captures an abundance of alpaca fuzz—perfect for pieces that are as light as they are soft. Plus, Alpaca Classic’s palette of jewel-like colors play together wonderfully—great for colorwork!
