Our new Norland Cowl in our very own Loop Petal is a simple and addictive knit that uses a combination of knits and purls to create a texture that's super squishy and cozy.
This cowl is scrunchable and foldable - wear it up high on your neck or fold it down turtleneck style for a double layer of soft warmth!
If you're a fan of extra soft yarn, you've got to give Petal a squeeze! It's a sumptuously plush choice for anything you want close to your skin (like cowls, scarves and sweaters) and a great option for extra soft baby knits!
Petal's also a great option for your gift knits because it's an everyday luxury! Giving your favorite knit-worthy friends and loved ones a cashmere handknit is an extra special token of love. And since Petal's a luscious blend of downy soft merino, luxurious cashmere + a touch of nylon, all Petal fabrics are easy care - they can be machine washed on cold/gentle then laid it flat to dry!
