We've got a lot of Rastita in stock recently along with two sample cowls, Greyshot and Ramblestone (pictured). Both cowls use the mosaic knitting technique, a way of doing colorwork where only one color is carried at a time and slipped stitches are used to create the pattern. They are great patterns even if you have never done colorwork before. If you aren't familiar with this yarn, Rastita is a 100% wool lightly felted single ply sport weight with 310 yards/100g.
