The Design
“Keep it close, keep it cozy.”
The long, slow shaping of this cowl begins with a wider base that slips as far over one or both of your shoulders as the circumference allows, while the narrower top end fills in the neck to keep you beautifully cozy.
We knit this Tapered Cowl in one of the noblest fibers in the world— from mYak! In this sport-weight yarn, the fine downy hair of Bactrian camels (also known as Mongolian camels) is spun into a very warm, very soft yarn. With a nice lightweight structure, Baby Camel is as remarkable as the hardy, shaggy animals it comes from!
