I created the wrap using Tunisian cables, which makes the twists really pop despite being worked on a large hook size and with yarn weight as the bases. The cables are worked in 5 different sections, where I alternate between the yarns I used. Three sections are done with a double strand of sportweight bamboo/cotton yarn and lace kidsilk held together. Between these 3 sections, I worked 2 sections where I continued with the lace kidsilk on its own. This creates a beautiful airy appearance, and the kidsilk adds a bit of coziness to the bamboo/cotton yarn.
