Soft Skinny INFINITY SCARF Loop Cowl, Tan Beige Black Grey Gray, Narrow Handmade Crochet Knit Thick Winter Circle Scarf, Ready to Ship in 3 Days
Black, Gray, Beige and Tan INFINITY LOOP COWL SCARF Incredibly Soft, Warm, and Cozy Multicolored Infinity Scarf hand-crocheted with a high quality acrylic yarn. Because of the cuddly softness, the scarf is incredibly comfortable and feels wonderful against the skin. I used a very soft acrylic yarn called Country Loom, one of the "wild and crazy" yarns I often use for my infinity scarves and neck warmers. It's categorized as bulky (thicker than normal strand), but is wonderfully airy, lightweight, pliable, and warm. It has loosely spun wavy strands that create a really beautiful and unique texture. As the yarn name suggests, Country Loom is meant to look a little more rustic than other yarns, with little loops sticking out here and there. The color is called "Weathered Rock" and includes shades of tan, cream, black, and dark gray. This is a wonderful combination of neutral colors that will coordinate with so many jackets and tops. Please note that this color is basically a black-tan combination color...so if it only looks like black and gray on your monitor, chances are your screen is brighter than mine and is washing out the tan color making it look gray. The yarn is matte (no sheen). This scarf is a narrower & smaller version of my Weathered Rock scarf at 4 inches wide. Yarn Content: 100% Acrylic Yarn Brand: Loops & Threads Country Loom Yarn Label Color: Weathered Rock (black/dark gray and tan/cream) Approximate Length (full circumference unstretched): 64 inches/162 cm Approximate Width: 4 inches/10.2 cm Thickness: 3/8 inch/.8 cm This size creates a simple, very easy-to-wear style of infinity scarf. It's made to loop only once or twice (three times on smaller sizes), falling in place easily and draping beautifully. This yarn is 100% soft acrylic, so no itchiness. As with this scarf, I generally make my infinity scarves a traditional scarf width (infinity scarves can be as wide as 10 - 12 inches). The wider scarves may be fashionably dramatic, but the narrower ones are easier to manage and more flattering. This one can be put on quickly and easily—it falls into place without a lot of adjustment. For someone my size, 5’ 4” and small-boned, the larger scarves are overwhelming and heavy while the infinity scarves that are a more traditional scarf width look and feel perfect. This scarf is crocheted “in the round” to eliminate any seams. With infinity scarves, the very small area (1/2 inch wide) where I turn to start new rows will always look a little different from the rest of the scarf, but this can always be worn behind the neck, if desired. With this particular scarf, it blends in well. (: An infinity scarf provides versatility in both fashion and function. When worn closely to the neck, this yarn provides warmth, and the more loops around the neck, the warmer it will become. An Infinity scarf can be worn in a variety of ways… --Can be worn at full length as one large loop. This is good for warmer weather or when used purely as a fashion accessory. --Can be worn as two loops at different lengths for a double scarf look. Pull scarf over head, twist in front into a figure 8, pull loop you’ve just created over your head. Adjust to desired lengths. --Can be worn as two loops at equal lengths to create a cowl neck. --You can also keep the two layers together, wrap them both around your neck, inserting one end into the loop at the other end of the scarf and create a double thickness neck warmer that's great for wearing under coats and jackets with an open v-neck. --Can be worn as three loops as a snug neck warmer. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Can be washed in cool on a delicate cycle and dried in dryer on low setting. However, I recommend either hand-washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, or washing on a gentle cycle in a lingerie bag and drying only a few minutes in the dryer. The gentler washing & drying prevents the yarn from frizzing over time. Avoid washing with heavier garments that cause friction. If using washing machine, avoid washing with items that have zippers, buttons, etc that may snag the yarn loops and pull on them or make the yarn fray. Note: All yarns come with some degree of "factory residue" that makes the yarn feel a little stiff. This will disappear with normal handling and/or the first wash, bringing out the true softness of the yarn. U.S. SHIPPING: I keep shipping to a minimum and offer First Class Package as the best value for price & speed. For multiple orders, I often use Priority Mail. For Ready to Ship items, I'll ship within two business days. For items made to order, I'll ship as soon as I have the scarf finished (within the time-frame stated in the listing title). I use the PayPal/USPS integrated shipping system whenever possible, so you will be provided with a delivery confirmation number by email from PayPal and/or Aftcra. Most First Class packages take two to five days to be delivered. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I always combine shipping for multiple orders. I most commonly use USPS First Class International for shipping outside of the US. First Class International may take a longer time to arrive than other services, but it's much more affordable than Priority International (which usually runs $25 or more for a few ounces). Delivery time for international packages is usually 5 to 15 business days. Customs, bad weather, or national holidays can sometimes slow down a package with the occasional shipment taking around 30 days to arrive. This only happens to about 5% of my international shipments. (: In the last four years, USPS has raised prices significantly for First Class International, in some cases more than doubling the amount they used to charge before 2013. On a positive note, as part of that price increase, they include tracking and delivery confirmation as part of the First Class service for almost all the countries I ship to. To keep shipping costs down, I will use lightweight polymer shipping envelopes as often as possible. For multiple items, I may find a cardboard box is best. International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. PAYMENTS: I accept PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account, you will still be able to pay with a credit or debit card through PayPal. You can also pay from your bank account using an E-check (also through the PayPal system), but I won't be able to ship until the check has cleared, PayPal says it's okay to ship and allows me to print out a label. RETURNS: For now, I am not accepting returns, but am completely open to resolving any problems that may occur. I feel the best strategy is to head off any problems before they even happen. If you have any questions whatsoever about any items I am selling, please ask. Thanks for looking!
