This incredibly warm shrug is made with Fat Wool yarn from local Merino Corriedale wool and Alpaca. I left the neck more open, which can be left standing tall or rolled down. The comforting weight of this shrug will give you the confidence to handle the wind chill! Hand Wash, lay flat and block to desired shape to dry. All Fat Wool Co fiber is sourced from Michigan Family Farms, spun in a local family owned fiber mill, and knit with care in Michigan.
