In Norse mythology, “the Norns” were three women, incidentally spinners, who determined life spans. One spun the thread of life, another measured the length, and the third decided when the thread should be cut. This cowl gives a nod to the three fates who lived there, and to the intricate and complex patterns of the Norse.
