Cantera by Laura Reinbach

Shining and soft in Dos Tierras or Silky Merino, this cowl draws its name and inspiration from architecture, sculpture, and carving. Deep chevron ridges are striking and prominent in a single, semi-solid colorway, or can be used to highlight the beauty of a variegated shade. The word cantera means ‘quarry’ in Spanish, inspiration derived from the carved looking cables in this piece. Kit includes pattern and selected yarn.
