Weave a Tale Wrap
In her Weave a Tale Wrap, we think designer Terry Day has paired two favorite materials—ultra-soft Dazzleare and shimmery ribbon—for the perfect balance of texture and subtle shading. Generous crocheted clusters create a beguling openwork fabric, which Terry then uses to weave in her ribbon accent.
