This cowl was inspired by Somerville, MA’s greatest invention: Marshmallow Fluff. This squishy brioche knitting pattern combines the structure and drape of merino wool with the delightful fluff and softness of suri alpaca to create a beautiful and cozy result. This brioche cowl is great way to learn two-color brioche knitting and incorporate some luxury fibers into a classic design!
