I decided I wanted to knit up some neckwarmers for my brother and my sister-in-law. They’re always bringing things back from Japan for us, and remembering the boys on their birthdays, and, it’s really cold where they live (they’ve got a long walk from where they park at work to the door). This is an ombré that reminded me of a Japanese yarn, but that one is a little out of my price range! This was a great substitute!
