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

This collection uses different yarns with similar all-over cables to get very different effects. The Artifice Cowl (and matching hat) uses a single-ply yarn with a slight thick-and-thin texture for a polished look to the finished project. The cowl is somewhat close-fitting to keep you warm while you run around town.
