Here you go! The first project using our all-new cotton tape, which goes by the name of Stromboli. If the old latin saying “nomen omen” is true, then the destiny of this yarn can only inspire extremely explosive projects. Today’s proposal is a simple yet effective pattern. An all-round garment: casual and suitable for your everyday wardrobe but can also be chic and more dressed up when teamed up with a super smart and feminine skirt, like Elena did.
