Cream Colorway

Knit in the round using intarsia colorwork, the design is inspired by the traditional aprons worn by Tibetan women. The sumptuous warmth of the long cowl is my winter go-to for happy colors and serious warmth.

A tribute to the Tibetan women I have known and the resilience they have shown in the midst of hardship. The young women: striving to maintain their cultural identity in a quickly modernizing society. The survivor women: showing fortitude amid domestic abuse. The nomad women: rising early to milk the yak, start the fire, churn the butter, make the tea, pasture the yak, pasture the yak, pasture the yak. Despite extreme weather always caring for the yak as the yak provide for them. Be inspired by these women and Press On.

Featuring 9 colors of our exquisitely soft and warm Embrace 100% Tibetan yak down, DK. Kit makes one long cowl or one hat and one short cowl.
