When a chill hits the air, a soft knit cowl is just the thing you need. Throw it on as you head out in the morning for a cozy and stylish finishing touch to your ‘outfit of the day’. Minou is an eyelash style yarn with a super-soft texture that is warm to wear and lush to look at and knit with. Paired with superwash merino wool/nylon blend Uni Merino, the Speck cowl has a simple dotted texture you can work in two different ways to create an accessory that is just perfect for you.
