Shiny + Matte Wrap
Sometimes the yarn is enough. You don’t need fancy stitch patterns or elaborate construction, only beautiful fibers, precisely paired.
For our Shiny + Matte Wrap pattern, we bracket Linen Quill’s rustic blend of fine Highland wool, alpaca, and linen with our newest and most illuminating yarn, Spun Silk. Purposefully picking closely related colors, textural nuances drive this streamlined design.
Knit primarily in stockinette, with a small ribbed selvedge, the Shiny + Matte Wrap captures the beauty of simple structure and subtle contrast. It’s a piece that’s both approachable to make and effortless to wear. -Laura
