Memoria Cowl Kit (Yarn and Pattern)

Occasionally, we are blessed to find ourselves consumed by haunting beauty. We are given an opportunity to peer into spaces full of history, memory and past lives that have long stood empty. As these spaces are lost from memory and are reclaimed by Nature, we are offered one last glimpse of what was. The Memoria Cowl honors the passing, recognizes beauty in loss, and allows us to find comfort in memory.

This listing is for three skeins of yarn, dyed on our Deep Freeze DK base, which is enough to make a single Memoria Cowl.
