Kouchibouguac Salt Marsh Wrap

Lush mixed-wood forests lead to colorful salt marshes and warm ocean beaches. Offshore, golden sand dunes foster calm seas. At night, this Dark Sky Preserve is a celestial masterpiece. An important site to both First Nations Mi’gmaq and later Acadian cultures, Kouchibouguac National Park is an awe-inspiring all-season destination.

The triple twined cables of the wrap are reminiscent of the twisted waterways in the salt marshes, ebbing and flowing with the tides. The simple texture of the moss stitch body and border prevents the edges from rolling and provides a no-fuss finish. Short rows hidden in the moss stitch create a gentle curve at the middle of the piece, allowing it to more easily hug the shoulders.
