Valley Yarns Sorrel is a graphic cowl with a bold geometric pattern knit in Wachusett. Knit in one piece in the round, it makes a quick but special gift and gives fans of stranded colorwork an excellent new option to perfect the skill. Valley Yarns Wachusett is a gorgeous blend of Merino wool and cashmere, named after scenic Mount Wachusett—the highest point in Massachusetts east of the Connecticut River. Transform this luxurious, worsted weight yarn into this stunning cowl. The colorwork pattern is in chart form only.
