I was given the opportunity to work with two gorgeous skeins of hand dyed yarn by Kristin Oldach, owner of KraeO. When I saw the two distinct colors, one a muted rose gold and the other, a vibrant teal, I knew that it would be a very visual representation of the two distinct sides of a gemini like myself. Since I’m constantly changing my mind, I thought a simple cowl that could be worn either way (depending on your mood), with a very balanced, marled center section would best showcase these beautiful colors. I think this is the perfect project to feature two skeins of light fingering weight yarn in your stash. Have fun playing with colors!
