Balaclava – Black & Orange

Embers in a grate: that is the feeling. Black ground, and inside each square the colour warms from a dark centre out to peach and burnt orange, like coals breathing when the stove door is opened. It is a bold balaclava that still feels quiet, because the black does most of the talking until the light catches it. Pull it down over the ears on a cold platform, or push it back to rest at the neck when you come inside. The fit is close, with a firm trim around the oval opening. Crocheted by hand, square by square, by women artisans.
