Peach Parfait Cowl

neck warmer knit with Kool-aid dyed yarn August 2017 This yarn is much prettier in person, and it reminds me of a peach parfait. This is one of three skeins that I dyed at the Fiber Guild's Spring Retreat. This skein was reclaimed from an off-white thrift shop sweater: 90% wool and 10% mohair. It would be fun to replicate the color, but I know it's impossible. This cowl is going into a special gift box.
