Fitted over the hips and surprisingly loose and comfortable in the bodice, (w)rapped has the versatility to be worn to work with pearls and a jacket or on the weekend over your favorite oversized shirt and jeans. Designed to expose the variations in hand-dyed yarns, adding richness and texture, (w)rapped is shown here knit in Madelinetosh’s Tosh DK (clematis) which comes in a fabulous array of colors, is easy to care for and is extremely soft when washed.
