Introducing the stunning winter wrap designed by Sandra Nesbitt, perfect for cozying up during the chilly months. This beautiful wrap showcases a stylish and contemporary stylised tartan pattern, expertly crafted through a slip stitch technique using two distinct yarns. The combination of a solid brown shade and a self-striping colourway creates a visually appealing and unique design that stands out.

The yarns selected for this project are both premium aran-weight offerings from West Yorkshire Spinners. You will find the Fleece undyed Bluefaced Leicester for the solid shade and the Aire Valley Fusions wool blend for the self-striping sections, which features subtle and harmonious colour transitions. These high-quality yarns not only provide warmth but also lend a luxurious feel to your finished wrap.

To enhance the overall aesthetic, Sandra's design is completed with simple yet elegant moss stitch edgings that are cleverly knitted onto the main piece, adding a refined finish to this winter accessory. Whether you are looking to stay warm or simply want to make a fashion statement, this wrap is versatile enough for both needs.

Size specifications for this cozy winter wrap are as follows: Length: 188cm (74in); Width: 46cm (18in), making it the perfect size to snuggle up in or to wear as a stylish layer over your winter wardrobe.
