Chocolate Truffle cowl - yummy 100% Alpaca



Chocolate Truffle
This cowl was designed because the wool colours reminded me of a Danish chocolate truffle.
dark chocolate, light chocolate, marzipan
Chokoladetrøffel
Denne cowl blev designet, fordi uld farver mindede mig om en dansk chokolade trøffel.
mørk chokolade, lys chokolade, marcipan

Blocking 220 Superwash
