A Rich Tactile Landscape

Distinctive Yarns and Knitted Textures

The striped design combines several yarn qualities and tactile surfaces, creating a lively and comforting feel:

• white bouclé yarn for a soft, nubbed texture
• white and red wool‑polyamide yarns for warmth and durability
• white and red teddy yarn for gentle softness
• white and burgundy fringe yarn for playful movement
• knitted textures including seed stitch, bubble stitch, garter stitch and basketweave patterns

These alternating stripes make the muff visually inviting and wonderfully stimulating to the touch.
