SELSEY
Tulip bulbs are planted each autumn with the anticipation they will bloom later and bring about the first sign of spring. Inspired by traditional folkloric design and European floral patterns, Selsey includes an element of embroidery to add a three dimensional texture to the smooth surface. Knit in the round and finished off with a wild fringe, this colourful and highly patterned scarf is full of energy and warmth for the autumn to come.
Selsey was origianlly published in Pom Pom Quarterly’s Issue 10, Autumn 14.
