We love the Terrace Wrap in our beautiful Good Wool. Lofty and bouncy, it makes for a fun knit and a wonderful sproingy finished object.

One hundred percent Andean highland wool, Good Wool comes from sheep who have adapted to the shifting conditions of high-altitude life, making this yarn the perfect defense against the whiles and whims of the weather.
