There are so many things to gather up when visiting the Hudson Valley! At Rhinebeck, we visit Sheep & Wool and collect precious skeins of yarn; along roadsides we gather the season’s bounty from orchard fruit stands; and perhaps all along the way, we’re gathering new friends and treasured memories. The unusual gathered stitch used in this dramatic scarf gathers--or harvests--the stitches around it, creating a new whole, a sum of all parts, that speaks to the welcoming nature of this region. Engulf yourself in layers of squishy, woolly stitches that work up quickly (so you’ll have it finished in time for your next wool festival).
