Classic Herringbone Throw

I adore the look of herringbone and wanted to design a quintessential piece that uses this classic stitch with a twist. In Lion Brand Mandala Impressions, the fabric is elevated by the hand painted look of this yarn. I selected a fun color way, Tie Dye, to contrast the timelessness of the stitch with a bright and funky color to bring joy to any room.
