Valley Yarns Designer Series
presents Cordillera, which is a cowl and a shawl! This accessory knits up quickly
in Valley Yarns Peru, a soft alpaca and wool blend. Cordillera features
simple yet interesting construction and a joy to wear, this substantial shawl-cowl
hybrid is worked in a pretty gradient design. The cowl starts out like a semi-circular
shawl with a garter tab cast on. When the top edge reaches the appropriate length,
the two ends are joined, and the cowl is worked in the round. Valley Yarns Peru
is a spectacular blend of baby alpaca, Merino wool, with a hint of nylon that
works beautifully.
