Beaubourg Wrap - Kit
Description
When Urth Yarns asked Julie Knits in Paris (Julie Dubreux) to be part of their Knitters of the World program, she loved the idea of designing knitwear inspired by her geographical identity. Beaubourg (also known as Pompidou Centre) is the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris. Designed by architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano the contemporary art museum opened in 1977. Some will tell you it is an eyesore, but Julie is partial to this colorful building in the very heart of grey Paris. Beaubourg is a large rectangular wrap that features two-color brioche and slipped stitches against a background of garter stitch to represent the colorful pipes that run up the façade of the museum.
This pattern is included as a kit and includes eight skeins of Urth Yarn 100% Superwash Merino Uneek, Monokrom and/or Harvest worsted depending of colorway selected. A single ply Superwash Merino yarn carefully hand dyed in gorgeous colorways that bloom to perfection.
An email from our Ravelry account will be sent to you with the pattern; and if you send us your Ravelry user name, we can add it directly to your on-line Ravelry library.
