it’s a wrap
Slip into warmth with this sumptuous topper. Knit in candy-apple red, it will get your heart racing.

RUCHED WRAP
Two alpaca-wool blend yarns (one with a bit of bamboo) combine to create a super-soft warmer. I wasn’t going for a retro vibe when I designed this wrap, but I like the sense of old-fashioned glamour it evokes.
