The Design

“A magical blend of three hand-dyed yarns.”

This generous, lengthwise wrap takes advantage of the fact that, if you start with three yarns and change yarn every row, the next one you need will always be waiting right where you need it—as if by magic! Because you’re changing yarns every row, you get a beautifully integrated fabric (not too stripey, unless you want it to be) with no wrong side. (It’s a great stash-busting project, too!)

For this version of our Magic Three-Yarn Wrap, we used three different yarns with three different textures from Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden: Slubby Mix, a half-and-half blend of Blue Faced Leicester and merino wool with a thick-and-thin strand; Curlylocks, a lofty, bouclé style blend of kid mohair, wool, and nylon; and Maiden Hair, a gently twisting strand composed of silk, mohair, and nylon.
