Peppered Stripes Wrap
For a small design team, a surprising number of us collect vintage linen tea towels. The soft, hearty weave of vintage homespun linen is irresistible, and our love for it demanded a hand-knit translation!
I turned to the aptly named Linen Stitch to imitate the flat, sturdy nature of vintage tea towels and paired it with our sumptuous DK-weight Cashmere Merino Bloom yarn. Obviously, this project would not be for drying dishes and cleaning spills!
For the majority of our Peppered Stripes Wrap knitting pattern we used soft and creamy Heirloom White. Peppered throughout, we placed peppery stripes, formed by alternating rows of our helix spun color, Salt + Pepper.
Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections! Discover over 55 thoughtfully designed yarns in nearly every natural fiber and in every spectacular color you can imagine. Only available here at Purl Soho’s online yarn store, where every skein is created with care and your creativity in mind!
It seems that whatever the fiber inspiration, there’s a way to knit it. Our Peppered Stripes Wrap perfectly channels the woven heirloom feeling of vintage tea towels, but in a cozy cashmere-blend that is much happier around your neck than in the kitchen! -Laura
