This stylish neckerchief cowl is knit using yarn that has been hand dyed especially for this year’s theme by Art by Eve. Using an online photo of the Metolius River in fall for its color inspiration, the “Sparkle Splash” hand dyed Metolius Springs colorway runs from deep blues for the waterway through oranges for the fish with lovely yellows and greens for foliage and trees. This cowl is sure to become a fall favorite!
