with Liz Jarman

Liz came up with a fantastic new line of yarn on her a luxury merino/silk base that was so gorgeous and drapey it just begged to be worked up into a wrap. The richness of this new line from Colorful Eclectic made us think of elegant gowns and formal wear. This stunning two color, multi element wrap was born to be the perfect companion and accent to any formal event!

The motifs in this wrap are reminiscent of those found in a formal ballrooms and it beautifully shows off Colorful Eclectic’s new merino/silk color ways.

Finished Size:
2 skeins of Colorful Eclectic’s Ecstasy sock made a wrap 60” x 15.5” aggressively blocked.

Gauge: 24 sts. x 32 rows in 4” x 4” (10 cm) knit in stockinette, flat and unblocked on size 4 (3.5mm) needles.
Note: This wrap used almost all of the contrast color.

Materials Needed/Used
