The tiny Rocky Mountain Dotted-Blue butterfly (Euphilotes ancilla) is found in the very south of the province of Alberta. It has black dots on its underwings, and a row of gold dots around the edge of the underwing. The black and gold dots of this pretty pollinator matched well to this James C Brett Marble DK in Denims colour, and they are the inspiration for this eyelet patterned cowl.
