This pale mauve tweed yarn was in my stash for quite some time before I found the right pattern for it. I wanted something with cables because the way they make the body stitches pull inwards makes for a cozy, cuddly cowl. I called this Clyppan which is Old English for “to hug; to cherish”. The cowl warmly hugs my neck, and I will cherish it!
