NOTES
Wrap is worked in rows using the overlay mosaic technique. Fasten off at the end of each row and join the next colour into the first st of prev row. Leave tails of approx 30cm at beg and end of each row. There is no need to weave in tails, as these are incorporated into the twisted fringe at the end.
