ABOUT
Yes, they go on your feet, but no one said they can't be pretty! Inspired by the antique comfort of heirloom weaves, the sculpted cuff repeats motifs like the borders on a handwoven tapestry, framing a continuous brocade pattern that embraces the calf and dances along the forefoot. A single skein of yarn brings soft stitch definition and depth to every raised detail. Ornamenta is a one-size, accessible project, offering meditative rhythm and intuitive delight: Truly a one-skein wonder worthy of a castle wall - or your tootsies!
