What We’ll Learn

The Floating Square Wrap, an ingenious design from Amy Christoffers, is all about the geometric mosaic pattern melting into each vibrant color, in the thinnest most satisfying yarn.  Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to mosaic, Lorilee will get you on your way to knitting up this gorgeous wrap.

YOUR YARN OPTIONS

If you choose one of the class plus yarn options from the drop-down menu, your kit will contain seven skeins (4 different colors) of Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a magical kid mohair and silk yarn that knits up into a weightless cloud. It’s a luscious choice for the Floating Squares Wrap, in your choice of three colorways (while supplies last).

If you have already purchased the Floating Squares Wrap Bundle featuring Lang’s Mohair Luxe, you’re all set.

If you’re using your own yarn, you’ll find the yardage requirements on the Floating Squares Wrap pattern page here.  For best results, we recommend a laceweight mohair/silk blend comparable to Rowan Kidsilk Haze or Lang Mohair Luxe.  For the mohair-averse, a suri alpaca lace yarn would also be fantastic. If you’ve been stashing beautiful balls of fluffy laceweight, this is their time to shine!

You’ll Also Need

The Floating Squares Wrap pattern: your order confirmation will include the ebook edition of MDK Field Guide No. 29: Mosaic, so you’re all set there.

US Size 7 (4.5mm) needles, or the size needed to achieve gauge. Lorilee recommends sharp needle tips for this one; Ann says her trusty Tulip Interchangeable Needles were just right.
