Soft Handwoven Wrap // Design by Kathryn Steely Soft snowfall covers the ground in shimmering drifts as nightfall approaches. Venturing out might call for an added layer of warmth, a delicate wrap to take the edge off the frosty air. Drifting Snow weaves together a light cashmere blend warp and a fluffy mohair silk weft, creating an elegant accompaniment for an evening stroll.
