Fresh Off Our Needles!
We've re-yarned one of our favorites -- the Ryman Wrap -- in Nashville's own Camellia Fiber Co.'s Flax. Inspired by the architecture of one of Music City's most famous landmarks, the Ryman Wrap is a fingering-weight wrap that begins with a provisional cast-on and alternates between engaging lace “windows” and soothing stockinette “walls.”
Flax a bunny-soft alpaca/linen/silk blend that drapes beautifully, with the linen creating an interesting, slightly rustic texture. Fabric created from this yarn is both warm and breathable, making it suited for multi-season garments: lace shawls, cardigans, and lightweight tops.
Between the pattern and the yarn, this is about as local as you can get, so come get your Nashville on, y'all!
