The Ramate Wrap is inspired by the gorgeous floral textiles and wallpapers designed and printed by William Morris & Co. in the late 1800s. Two-color brioche stitch creates the vining movement through the wings of the shawl, while the center band features mosaic stitch. The result is a stunning project made from a special blend of Viking Norway wool and Merino wool that is both beautiful and warm.
