Harlequin Neige, a colorway named after snow. What better substance to name a Vermont woven wrap after than snow. After all, snow is quite plentiful here in the Green Mountain state, has been written about melodiously by Vermont poets such as Robert Frost, and in fact, the first snowflakes were photographed by, you guessed it, a Vermonter, (Snowflake Bentley).
Neige is our first wrap using an Egyptian mercerized cotton in the weft. This lustrous yarn adds a sheen, give and drape unlike the 100% natural cotton used in the warp. But it also takes something away, weight. Neige is a slightly lighter weight fabric than Chic for example, which does not have the mercerized weft. Early testers are reporting back to us that Neige is dreamy to wrap with. To quote one such lovely lady, "It is super comfy! Even in a sloppy wrap job!"
Neige is woven with a 100% natural cotton warp and an ecru 100% Egyptian mercerized cotton weft.
Fabric weight: 280 g/m2 (a slightly lighter weight version than our early prototypes)
