Description

I made the wrap “f” from the Japanese pattern book Unique Clothes Any WayYou Like by Natsuno Hiraiwa, using a thick creamy coloured knit stuff. I then dip-dyed it in a mixture of iDye Poly in Blue, and half a jar of Moccona instant coffee. I’m very happy with the subtle smudge colour I got from this mix, as well as the ombre effect of the dip-dyeing technique.

    This is an amazing look, and your added creative dying topped it wonderfully. I will be checking out other projects you have made, your style appears minimal and yet very sophisticated. I would wear this to an art gallery opening.

    Very simple, but lovely. It looks wonderful on you.

    Wonderful job on the dye and the armholes. Its such an amazing and simple pattern- my partner made one and it always looks good on….actually the whole book is pretty good.

      Thankyou! Yep, it is a great book. This is the fifth thing I’ve made out of it…. has your partner made any other of the designs?

      She made the shrug-n- page 64 out of linen which looks so nice. I made a version as a single piece- two layers out of knit jersey. The spiral scarf c I put up as a project a while ago.
