When designing this cowl, Sveina Björk Jóhannesdóttir pictured the softness of Icelandic moss and the way fog covers the moss on a summer evening. Moss Cowl is knitted with two yarns held together: Icelandic wool in three different colours combined with silk mohair. The cowl is knitted from the bottom up in the round and consists of three textured layers that are divided with a Latvian braid.
