Scarves!

 SO! It is getting a bit chilly here in the northeast. 
And I have some fantastic scarves in my etsy store!

Recycled sari silk scarf, rainbow colored - super long and warm and silky to the touch. 

Alpaca and angora scarf -  softest thing I have ever crocheted. 

Angora mohair with rayon accents scarf
I will be adding a few more over the next week or so. Prices are low, and really are just to support my crochet habit. I use only homespun yarns, and try to hunt up interesting fibers/combinations.

Take a look! They make excellent holiday gifts!

EDIT- Three more scarves listed! Second two are recycled sari silk, and both are multicolored/rainbow.

Pale green 100% alpaca scarf- lacy crochet

First one is wider

second is pretty thin, but has the best colors

Umm, actually. I didn't see the green and blue one before but it is seriously the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. So uh, if it's still there I might have to buy both. And the wool isn't scratchy at all? It looks so soft!

The green and blue one is an alpaca and wool mix- the alpaca does a good job of smoothing out the wool. It isn't silky soft, but I dont mind it (and I hate wool). It isnt as long as some of the others though. I can wrap it around twice. The girl who dyed and spun that yarn did an amazing job, didnt she?

Most of mine come out at around 3-4 inches in width. the sari silk one you are looking at is pretty solidly 3, but the scarf is long enough that I can wrap it around my neck about 4 times.

If you are looking for something super warm and wide, there is the angora and alpaca scarf. Softest scarf EVER. (I would knock the price down for you if you like her. She has been sitting there unloved for about a year now. Would sell her for 15, same as the rest)

You can buy whichever ones, and as few or many, as you want. Just let me know if you want to do it through etsy or not (so I can pull them down if you want to do it elsewise) and if you want the one that is 25 for 15, let me know and I will either change the price for you on etsy or just pull it down if we are selling outside of the site.

...long response was long....

The problem with this is that you've hit on my one true love, which is scarves. Seriously, I have so many. But only a couple of them are handmade and really, that makes all the difference. Thanks for holding the Sari one, and if my finances let me I might buy one of the others too. ♥

Hah, we are a hilarious match. I like making scarves, but I am baffled when it comes to wearing them. I am weird like that :) [livejournal.com profile] djkc on the other hand is quite the connoisseur of scarves and his collection is mighty.

I just adore crocheting with handspun fiber. Selling them means I get to buy more new and interesting yarns. otherwise we would be overrun with the things.

So. Not at all random question. What is your address? Nothing nefarious, I promise.

Sari silk one is listed as reserved, so no one else will touch it :)
