Solar Flare Cowl

The seasons are changing and the air is getting a little more crisp. My philosophy to a happier life is an abundance of scarves and I typically like to have them wrapped around my neck, but this time I’m bringing you a different sort of cowl! It’s not just the cowl shape thats a bit different for me, but so is the yarn – JOANN now sells the Heat Wave Yarn from Red Heart, which is sort of a crazy concept. If you don’t know anything about this unique yarn, here is what they have to say about it:

“Heat Wave is a revolutionary yarn that is activated by sunlight, even on a cloudy day, to keep you up to 12°F warmer. Upgrade your outdoor gear and stay warm at sporting events, everyday outside activities or even walking your dog. Made in the USA, Heat Wave features a classic and versatile range of solids.”

Um, what?

So if you’re looking for a yarn for these colder seasons coming up, JOANN has you covered! They carry such a vast variety of color and as one of their bloggers, I am here to give you a fun and simple idea of what to do with this yarn!
