One of the hardest things about working on our exclusive collections is keeping them a secret for so long. I've been so excited about our new Everyday Wraps collection for months and now it's finally available for everyone! This gorgeous collection of 14 shawl patterns features yarn I have an abundance of - sock yarn!

With swaths of garter stitch with small doses of texture and simple lace patterns, this collection is a dream come true for me - and I think you will love it as well! |
