Meet the Solar Flare Wrap – a stunning blend of color, texture, and drape that feels as luxurious as it looks. Made with three shades of fingering-weight 100% bamboo yarn, this generously sized shawl is lightweight, soft, and perfect for year-round wear.

The journey begins with a solid section worked in a beautiful raspberry, a juicy pink that highlights the elegant shell corner details. This section creates a cozy, structured start with just enough visual interest to keep things fun. From there, the color shifts to a glowing golden cluster lace—warm, sunny, and open enough to let the bamboo shine (literally—it has such a lovely sheen!). Finally, you’ll transition into a delicate lace net in deep blue. The darker tone adds depth and drama, resulting in a bold and beautiful finish.

Whether you wear it draped over your shoulders on a summer evening or wrapped a little tighter for cooler days, the Solar Flare Wrap is designed to flatter most figures with its generous shape and flowing fabric. It’s an eye-catching project with a soothing stitch rhythm – the kind of wrap that makes you feel amazing while you crochet it and every time you wear it.

The sample uses Theodora’s Pearls Auxanometer (100% bamboo; 4.6 oz/115 g = 400 yds/365.75 m) in the colors: A) Raspberry Beret, B) Goldenrod C) Deep Space
