A wonderful wonderful combination of color and design!
This wrap is called S Curve, by Becca Anderson. The yarn is Twizzlefoot from Mountain Colors, each kit having 11 mini skeins. And the pattern comes as part of the kit.

The Design
Here is what the designer writes:
The inspiration behind this design came from the coming together of ten West Michigan Yarn Shops for our annual Yarn Quest.
We had a custom color of Mountain Colors Yarns “Twizzlefoot” yarn dyed exclusively for our 2018 event....
(T)he pattern design represents a stretch of US131 as well as the curvy, winding back roads that make up West Michigan…our home.
My design also represents the journey of the quest…beginning with the 10 lozenges, representing our ten stores, as your plan of attack.
You begin with Michigan Cool Waters, traveling through the pattern and through beautiful West Michigan to our ten different and amazing stores in a random but organized way and finally end up with Michigan Cool Waters to finish off the journey…back home. The ending lozenges trail off slowly as you unpack your treasures and remember all the fun you had at each store.
You can see more of her notes here.
The Yarn and Colorways
Well, of course, we aren't using Michigan as our base nor the wonderful yarn shops there.
But the design is a real beauty and so when Mountain Colors offered kits including all the yarn you need -- well, how could we say no?

These kits are made up of skein of Tangofoot. This is a fingering weight yarn made up of 75% superwash merino wool / 25% nylon and usually comes in 100g skeins with 460 yards.
The photos show the "old" kits made up of a slightly different yarn. These "new" kits will follow very closely.
Each kit contains 11 mini-skeins.

We love all three of the colorways of kits that Mountain Colors put together in their yarn.
1. Rainbow runs the gamut from teal/ turquoise into purples into wine into red and then orange and goldenrod and finishes with a rich cider.( It is called Rainbow though it misses some of the major colors of the spectrum, most notably there are no greens or yellows.)
2. Blue-Purples is a color set that concentrates on coolness. It includes deep midnight blue into slate blue into charcoal into Capri into turquoise into periwinkle into royal purple into merlot into a variegated min-skein with blues and purples and golds.
3. Autumn has lovely colors flowing from greens into browns and cream. Pretty darn special.
