POIBLEOG COWL
With textured lacework that evokes the graceful forms of poplar tree foliage, this warm and airy cowl is perfect for chilly walks down tree-lined country lanes.
A lovely accessory for the transitional seasons, as well as a quick ‘palate cleanser’ project.
Poibleog means ‘poplar’ in Irish Gaelic and is pronounced something akin to ‘pub-log’
