Answer: FANCY CAMBRIC

The puzzle is a knitted scarf. The scarf shows a series of purl “bumps” on a plain stockinette stitch background. The purl stitches represent the raised dots of US Grade 1 Braille. Transliterated from Braille, the scarf reads:

This is a knitting pattern. If you knit it, you get a smaller piece that similarly has purl bumps on a stockinette background:

Again interpreting the purl bumps as the raised dots of Braille, you get the answer FANCY CAMBRIC.
