Imagine this scenario: you’ve worked up a good sweat at the gym and now you’re cooling down. As your skin dries, your damp workout clothes get chilly. Wouldn’t a thick wrap feel great? This project also doubles as a lapghan, play mat, or even a thick towel. It works up fast in bulky machine-washable microfiber yarn.
