The Betula Wrap is a three-quarter square shawl that wraps you up in an homage to the genus Betula: the humble Birch tree. A symbol of home and of place in New England, the Birch tree is celebrated here in texture shifts, graphic intarsia and a lace border. Whether you’re wandering down your favorite forest path or keeping the chill off on a crisp autumn night, you will find yourself reaching for this wrap with each adventure.
