If you go to Amazon, you can find the book. The cover picture is the same wrap as the pattern I used, so you can see it looks quite a bit different with a lighter weight yarn. You would be hard pressed to duplicate my wrap. When I ran out of yarn, I contacted numerous yarn manufacturers and went into specialty stores and could not find anything similar. That's one of the risks of using yarn ends.
