Product Details

Balletomane is a lightweight, fitted ballet style-wrap, with a beaded yoke, and optional long sheer sleeves finished with beaded cuffs. It is equally beautiful knit without the beads or as a sleeveless wrap. Because this garment is knit in one section with no seams, you can try it on as you knit it to get the perfect fit. The body of the wrap is knit using two strands of hand dyed lace weight yarn, the sleeves are knit with one strand so are slightly sheer.
