Can you see that green? Can you see the lichen on the trees and the moss beneath my toes? isn’t it beautiful? For me this color is a gentle reminder to take deep breaths, focus on the now and here.

Lichen Wrap is a new take on this classic accessory piece. It plays with simple garter stitch centerpiece and more decorative edging with added layer of mohair. This wrap is a great companion on the long hikes on mossy grounds and it will keep you warm even when the winds are harsh.

Lichen Wrap was designed initially for Life in the Long Grass Magazine, Issue 4 – Between Earth & Sky.
