The Sheep trail cowl is a gentle celebration of the Sheep that
through the ages has provided us with wool to keep us warm;
wool, warmth and nourishment. Resilient, calm and beautiful.
Gentle but though and deeply in harmony with the landscape;
mirroring it and whispering its secrets in every fiber.

This traditional, simple lace pattern symbolizes the sheep
trails over mountains, along hillsides, seashores and over
fields. Trails to follow, trails that takes us onwards and
forwards. A cowl to wear as you venture into lands and times
unknown; warm, confident and excited.
