Namossa
by Dominique Trad
This 2 colour cowl combines a soft DK solid coloured yarn (I used Eki Riva Natal) with Noro Mossa which is a heavier yarn that adds a bold, self striping feature.
Tension
Unimportant. This cowl is knitted with a combination DK and Bulky weight yarn. Completed size is 18cm wide x 160cm around laid flat.
