The Cascade Range extends from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to northern California with breathtaking beauty. Heinrich C. Berann, an Austrian painter and cartographer, achieved fame with his panoramic maps combining modern cartography with classical painting. The results are stunning. The earthy colors of Rowan Felted Tweed were a perfect choice for this wrap.

A simple pattern repeat that is easily memorized, with the color changes doing the work. The width of the chevrons start out larger and become narrower mid-way, emulating distance as in the painting. This pattern is easily modified for a wider or longer wrap. This measures 13” x 72” and used 1 skein each of 5 different colors.
