All along the Oregon coast are rolling, majestic sand dunes – the artistry of our Mother Earth. The sand dunes at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, Oregon are especially expansive and impressive. Clamber up the soft yet powerful slopes for breathtaking views of the coastline and vast ocean, then slide and tumble playfully back down to the beach.
This stranded colorwork cowl pays homage to these beautiful dunes, with color patterns that look almost painted on. Choose a nature-inspired palette, or go big with high contrast for an abstract piece to make it your own!
