Balaclava – Grey & Purple

Twilight, held still. Light grey frames each square like a winter sky, and inside, deep purple and lilac shade toward charcoal the way the hour after sunset does over the hills. Keeping everything in one colour family gives it a hush, a tonal calm that looks considered rather than coordinated. Wear this balaclava with charcoal wool and silver jewellery, or with a black puffer on the way to an early train. The hood runs deep at the neck to keep the throat warm, opens at the face, and pulls on without fastenings. Each square crocheted, then joined to the next, all by hand.
