Opposites attract in this springtime Shiny + Matte Wrap! In a real Felix and Oscar odd couple, we use our luminous Spun Silk to bookend Linen Quill’s rustic blend of Highland wool, alpaca, and linen.

In a very straightforward stockinette stitch (plus a bit of ribbing at each edge), no need here for unnecessary drama, fancy stitches patterns, or complex constructions. Plenty of interest abounds just by bringing together these two yarns, so at odds with each other.

Materials

Shiny + Matte Wrap in Pink Primrose | Purl Soho

To knit your own Shiny + Matte Wrap, you will need…

  • Yarn A: 2 skeins of Purl Soho’s Spun Silk, 100% silk. Approximately 404 yards required. For this Pink Primrose palette, we used Peony Pink. (Please Note: We no longer offer Spun Silk and would recommend using 2 skeins of Burnish in its place! Burnish drapes and shines like silk but is more durable and less expensive!)
