The rippling texture of the alpine stitch stirs memories of seascapes and gently waving fronds of kelp. Laminaria is made with Jamieson’s of Shetland yarn from 100% Shetland wool. The wool is known for its durability and warmth, perfect for a winter skirt. Plus its body hugging silhouette, with waist, hip and thigh shaping, will trap in extra warmth.
