Biches & Buches - No. 23 Wrap

Some years ago, louise showed me a photo of a lace sweater knit in a big wool and i liked the combination of the delicate lace pattern and the more rough yarn. How would I transfor this idea into a different design and piece : that was the beginning of no. 23. Knit in our le petit lambswool held double for the two lace patterns, and the borders are in two-coloured ribbing.
