Big & Bigger Basketweave Wrap Using Rowan Moordale
The Design
We wanted a piece with lots of squishy texture and glorious, lavish proportions—one we could fling grandly over our shoulders or wrap up in indoors or out. Then we scaled it down a little, both in size and gauge. But you can knit either size in either gauge so your yarn choices are vast!
For a big bouncy Big & Bigger Basketweave Wrap that’s lighter weight, we chose Rowan Moordale. This DK-weight yarn is a springy blend of alpaca fiber and fine micron Bluefaced Leicester wool. Fine and crimpy, Bluefaced Leicesters have one of the softest fleeces of British sheep! With the silky touch of alpaca, Moordale knits into a robust, squishy wrap that drapes beautifully.
