Knitted Paco-Vicuña Scarf
Medium vicuña colored trailing and branching vine of reversible cables, on a background of dark mahogany. 100% Paco-Vicuña, 16 micron, commercially spun with a bit of weight to it - compared to my handspun. As a knit item, it likely will stretch a bit and not have a perfectly straight edges due to the pattern.

L: 172cm/69"
PRODUCT INFO
The only yarn I bought from this farm. 100% Paco-vicuña. It looks like it will develop a halo, get fuzzy. It is very soft, with a lot of loft in it, and should therefore be warm.
CARE
Rough use and friction will stress and wear down any garment. I tend to work with delicate fibers, that apparently wears faster and are therefore not very suitable use for hard labor. Next to skin soft, though!!! And warm. When I spin by hand, I make what is referred to as worsted spun yarn, as opposed to woolen spun. Worsted is the more durable yarn, to make sure it will last you a long time under normal use.
- Do not dry clean or use chlorine, oxyclean, etc.! Most chemicals destroy the protein in animal fibers.
- Soak and wash gently in lukewarm water by hand, with baby shampoo or mild detergent. Use hair conditioner or regular softener if desired.
- Do not wring, or twist like a washcloth. It will twist and distort the fabric. Gently squeeze the excess water.
- Lay flat on a big towel, roll it up, and squeeze to remove the water.
- Lay flat to dry.
- Steam or gently press with damp cloth if you want to touch up appearance.
