The crunch of gold and orange fall leaves underfoot, the quiet promise in a steaming cup of coffee before the activities of the day begin, the warmth of laughter and cozy sweaters around a campfire as friends long separated once again come together in fiber fellowship – Rhinebeck is a celebration of nature meeting nurture and all the goodness wool gives to our lives as knitters.

This cowl celebrates the spirit of Rhinebeck. With its choose-your-own-adventure structure, each cowl is as unique as the knitter who creates it…yet it also shares a bond with the knitting community. Gather with your friends, cozy up with your favorite fiber, and create your own adventure! Rhinebeck is yours for the exploring!
