Fall 2019 I attended my first “Rhinebeck”. Wow.

What a weekend. It was a blur. Shared with friends old and new. Of course not enough photos taken BUT my stash was filled with lovely additions and each with a story. And the yarn used for Road to Rhinebeck is no exception.

While enjoying the final minutes on Saturday of the NY Sheep and Wool Festival, the grounds were cooling with a fall chill in the air and the barns open but empty of the crowds. I made my last stop of my trip to visit Kelsey at Primrose Yarn Co. Usually it’s shoulder to shoulder, but for those last 5 minutes I had the honor of enjoying all the yarn all by myself. Spending the last of my extended budget, I knew these three colorways were destined to be together.

Knit flat in worsted weight, this cowl takes a journey with different textures and colors used together to create a beautiful cowl that will change a little every time you wear it. Looking a little different with each styling, you will be ready for your trek again or for the first time on the Road to Rhinebeck.
