The Design
“Ruffles with restraint.”
Our Ruched Wrap, designed by Jennifer Evans, was created to add subtle feminine flourish to the scarf equation (think of it as ruffles with restraint). We couldn’t resist turning the gathered bands on their side with a lacier yarn—the result is an ethereal wrap on a dramatic scale! Wear it as a party shawl or as an unexpected piece of fluff over a tailored coat. Heaven!
For this pretty wrap, we picked lace-weight Rowan —a favorite Churchmouse go-to. It’s delicate and fine with a lovely halo that gives a subtle fuzz to this piece’s gentle ruches. Strong but sheer, weightless but warm—perfect for an airy wrap!
