Italian 'magenta mirage' brushed wool coating

From Italian designer deadstock, this is a fantastic fleecy yarn-dyed wool knit. It has a soft and cozy, brushed wooly texture on the face and a plain knit stitch on the back. Gorgeous quality, and its richly-colored "magenta mirage" design (28.5" repeat) makes a stunning impression.  It has about 15% stretch in the width and is stable in the length. It is malleable, not at all dense, and the edges don't easily fray. Make a cozy cardigan, sweater jacket or coat, poncho, etc. Dry clean, or if you wish to try hand-washing please test first, and lay flat to dry.
