Alpine Merino Scarf

A long, fine merino scarf that you can wrap twice and still not feel. It is light enough to keep in a bag from October to April and warm enough to replace a thicker knit on most days.

Materials

• 100% extra-fine merino wool, 19.5 micron
• Mulesing-free wool from farms we can name
• Knitted and finished in Poland, with a soft fringe at each end

Details

The scarf measures 75 × 12.5 inches and weighs 5 oz. It is knitted in a fine rib that looks the same on both sides, so it drapes the same way however you tie it. Sage and sand are both undyed-looking, soft colors that sit well with olive, navy and stone.

Care

Merino needs little washing. Air it overnight and it will be fresh again. When it does need a wash, use cold water and a wool detergent, by hand or on the wool cycle, then press out the water in a towel and dry it flat. Over summer, store it clean and folded with a cedar block.
