Nore Cowl
This Cowl is a part of The Saami collection. Fishing is a traditional livelihood for Inari Saami people and I wanted to honour that tradition with a pattern featuring some of the common fish varieties in the region: pike, perch and rainbow trout. Nore means a school of fish in Inari Saami, so it is a very fitting name for this design!
This cowl is funnel shaped for a good fit, and is a reversible design with colourwork on one side and wide stripes on the other.*
Sizing and fit:
One size.
