several years ago i brought 3 balls of Manos from Cottenham, this year they had the same colour so i brought another 2. Manos silk blend is really soft and warm. when i finished it, it looked rather bland, so i have crotched around the boarder, added beads, tassels and one extra thick crotched boarder, in order to add interest.. The wrap is made extra long, it's over 3 feet, in order to be able to attach it on the shoulder or chest or in the middle. i have also made a pin for it. It was a great stash busting exercise, though i did have to buy the Debbie Bliss,silk double knit for the contrast wool
