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.

Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections! Discover over 45 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!
