THIS IS CURRENTLY A DYE TO ORDER KIT. Dye to Order typically takes 3-4 weeks to process.
VELELLA is a colorwork wrap featuring a detailed and elegant Persian-style motif, depicting a curiously beautiful sea creature called velella velella.
Velella velella, also known as by-the-wind sailors, are carried by the wind at the sails on their backs. When the winds change, they wash up ashore in the thousands, leaving a beautiful natural mosaic on our sandy beaches. Knit in the round, then steeked and embellished with delicate fringe and generous tassels, Velella is a
handmade piece to remember. A smaller, more demure cowl version is included in the pattern, with the velella motif wrapping all the way around the neck. A simple yet striking statement piece for any outfit!
Our Vixen base is the perfect blend of merino and silk for a lovely drape, dyed in the in our signature palette of both subtly muted and richly saturated tones that bring notes of luxury and sophistication to every project. Choose from our curated kits below, or create your own combination here – set the mood with a modest low contrast or a bold, statement-making high contrast.
Velella is reminiscent of the classic silk pashmina wrap with its ornate patterning and detailed finishing of fringe and tassels. Wrapping yourself up in it feels cozy, chic, and extravagant – you’ll never want to take it off.
Wrap requires 3 MC skeins + 2 CC skeins
