SUMMER PALACE WRAP
|
|
|
This wrap design was initially inspired by an image of a printed cushion cover I found in a magazine, but having visited the Tipu Sultan's
Summer Palace near Mysore in India a few years ago, I was inspired to look at the design again and link it into my Mysore Collection.
I felt that the design and the wonderful colours within the range of Baa Ram Ewe's lovely yarn Colourwork Pip reflected the
elaborate carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building.
You can find Colourwork Pip 4 ply by following this link to the Baa Ram Ewe website.
You can find the paper pattern by following this link
The digital option is available on Ravelry here or Etsy here
