Knit Shepherd | Rapids Wrap | Arapawa Blend
The lace stitch pattern of this wrap takes its inspiration from river rapids, with water changing from smooth and swift to rough and chaotic. Made from Otago Polwarth wool and a uniquely New Zealand wild breed of ancient Merino wool called Arapawa. It has been processed without superwash treatments to preserve the character of these unique fibres.
This Arapawa blend scarf is wonderful draped over the shoulders or around the neck as a statement piece.
Knit Shepherd's designs take inspiration from the natural world of Aotearoa, New Zealand. The patterns are inspired by locations throughout the country, and the colours names reference our native fauna.
Knit Shepherd is a textile design studio based in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), where traditional craft meets modern technology to tell the stories of Aotearoa through sustainable, low-waste knitted textiles. Using yarn spun by Woolyarns in Wellington, all products are digitally knitted in South Auckland. From scarves to wrist warmers, each piece is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted with a focus on sustainability and detail.
