Corresponding

I’ve always been a creative person and use design to solve problems. CORRESPONDING is a little scarf that solves the problem of how to showcase a bit of special yarn in a functional way! Thoughtful details and simple stitches show off the beauty of handspun yarn. Scarves are back, baby!

Directions are provided for 2 sizes with suggestions for modifications to create a custom-sized piece.
