Description: Soft & Silky, Short & Thick INFINITY COWL LOOP SCARF, 50" x 3.75" x 1/2" (please open full description to see all details) Soft and Cozy Gold, Rust and Brown Infinity Scarf hand-crocheted with a high-quality acrylic and polyester yarn. Because of the cuddly softness, the scarf is incredibly comfortable and feels wonderful against the skin. I used two strands of Loops & Thread Textured Twist yarn - a yarn that has a loosely spun, wavy strand that creates a unique texture and appearance. Using two strands not only makes for a bulkier and warmer scarf, it also gives the scarf a wonderful cushion-y feel. This scarf is relatively short at about 50 inches full circumference and is meant to be worn as one or two loops. This is a great size for petite women, and those who live in milder climates and prefer smaller scarves. It's also relatively lightweight at 4 ounces. The color in the photos is called Glow and includes shades of gold, mustard yellow, brown, and rust orange. I (Michele) design and hand-crochet all of my scarves. My pricing is based on yarn costs, crocheting time, and Ebay seller fees. After a busy year I'm making most scarves to order (which means I make the scarves after they are purchased). The handling time in each listing will be an indication of the time it takes me to make the scarf. The handling time for this scarf is five business days, but if sales are slow I may ship it sooner. (: Yarn Content: 90% Acrylic/10% PolyesterYarn Brand: Loops & Threads Textured Twist Yarn Label Color: GlowApproximate Length (full circumference unstretched): 50 inches/127 cm Approximate Width: 3.75 inches/9.5 cmThickness: 1/2 inch/1.2 cmWeight: 4 oz/ 100gThis yarn contains NO wool, so no itchiness.It’s long enough to be worn as one or two loops. For scale, the mannequin has a neck size of about 12.5 inches. For scale, the mannequin represents a small woman (0 or 2), 12.5 inch neck, 34 inch chest, 24 inch waist, and 34 inch hips. The distance between shoulders is 15 inches. It's always a good idea to use a ruler or measuring tape to get a better idea of the actual size of the scarf (referencing the measurements given above). 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. 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. The last two photos show this. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Can be washed in cold 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. The general rule for washing crocheted items and keeping them looking as new as possible: the gentler, the better. (: Note: All yarns come with a bit of "factory residue" that causes a little stiffness. This will disappear with regular 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 USPS Ground Advantage as the best value for price & speed. For multiple orders, I often use Priority Mail. Once shipped, almost all of my shipments within the U.S. arrive in two to five mailing days. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I always combine shipping for multiple orders and already have discounts set up through Ebay. I will always refund any significant overpayment of postage costs. 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. (: As of January 27th, 2013, USPS has raised prices for First Class International, in some cases almost doubling the amount they used to charge. On a positive note, they are starting to include tracking and delivery confirmation as part of the First Class service. They are beginning with Canada and will be adding other countries in the future. The amount I charge for First Class International shipping includes the weight of a cardboard box. If you’d like me to ship your scarf or scarves in a polymer shipping envelope, I do have those available. Using shipping envelopes can sometimes reduce the total package weight and lessen the cost of shipping. Please let me know if you’d like me to ship using this type of packaging and I’ll see if there’s a price difference. If you’ve already paid for the scarf and shipping, I can always issue a refund through Paypal for the difference. 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 bidding or buying. 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! (:
