wool ornaments

Professing a love for nature, this stunning cardigan from Peru is created by Ana Fernandez. She knits this warm accessory from 100% baby alpaca wool, the fine fleece from the season's first shearing. Floral and bird motifs in cerulean decorate a body of indigo, accented by stripes at the wrists and waistline. A coconut shell button-up front completes this lovely sweater.

Against a body of teal, Bengal tigers and colorful flowers decorate this area rug from India. The intriguing design by Amit Moza features India's chain stitch embroidery in wool on cotton to create the motifs. A cotton canvas backing helps protect the embroidery.
