The Tulip Mountaineer Cowl is a vibrant tribute to the bright and sunny beauty of fresh tulip bouquets. Handwoven in seven distinct blocks, the cowl features a warm palette of red, orange, yellow, and pink, creating a bold and lively design. Crafted with a double M and W weaving structure, this one-of-a-kind piece offers a striking combination of color and texture.
 
While most of this cowl is handwoven with Tencel warp and weft, a few blocks use cotton and cottolin (60% cotton, 40% linen blend) to give this piece an intriguing texture. It is lightweight and suitable for all climates.
 
Mountaineer Cowls are sewn with a twist. Twisted cowls are both functional and aesthetic. The twist offers an improved fit, versatility, and insulation. It also adds beautiful texture and depth, with versatility depending on how the cowl is adjusted.
