Seamless Arvo Cowl is knitted from down to top and has gotten its name after my late Grandpa. In Finnish language, the word “arvo” means dignity or prestige. Like it’s namesake, Arvo Cowl has strict form, but at the same time has a soft and gentle side on it. The rims of the cowl are knitted with a single thread of Säie Merino DK and the texture in the middle of the cowl is softened by adding Säie Silk Mohair to accompany the merino. I-cord on the top rim allows you to adjust the cowl for the perfect fit.
