Light, airy, lofty and luscious, this wrap is perfect for dressing up or down. The subtle marled look is achieved by holding a strand of lace with a strand of fingering weight. This one looks terrific as a tonal wrap, using two closely related colors, or as a surprising tweed with an unexpected color pairing.
