Description
Born from the need to limit my social bubble comes the Social Bubble Bra, a chunky knit bralette with the bubbliest texture in the game! I can only hope that one day I can wear it around my extended bubble with a glass of bubbly in hand. Yes, the bad puns start now – sorry to burst your bubble (Wha-bam! She strikes again). Made with super chunky wool, this is the perfect quick knit for those of you that enjoy instant gratification.

Please note that this is not supposed to be replacement for a bra, as the yarn stretches and does not offer the same kind of support.
