Extra Long Skinny INFINITY SCARF Oatmeal Beige Crochet Knit Narrow Winter Cowl

Description: Extra Long Skinny Winter Infinity Scarf, Oatmeal Natural Beige Tweed, 92" x 3" Soft, Warm, and Thick Infinity Scarf hand-crocheted with a high quality acrylic/wool blend yarn. Even though the yarn is categorized as Super Bulky, it's very lightweight. This particular scarf has somewhat unique dimensions: it's an EXTRA LONG and EXTRA NARROW version. This length of scarf can easily be looped three or four times. Photos 9, 10, and 11 show the scarf with four loops around the mannequin's neck. Since this yarn has such a thick strand, it makes fun & beautiful jumbo-size stitches. The color is called Oatmeal, a natural beige tweed with strands of black and brown scattered throughout. COLOR OPTIONS: I'm now offering this scarf in various colors, all from the Wool-Ease Thick N Quick line of yarn. Please look at the Wool/Acrylic Blend Scarves section in my Ebay Store to view all of the color options in "scarf form". I use the manufacturer's colors from the yarn labels and these can be found in each listing in the short list of details like the one below. I (Michele) design and hand-crochet all of my scarves. As my husband’s friends often ask, “She sits there with just a hook and yarn and makes ALL those scarves?” Haha, yup, I sure do. I’ve been crocheting off and on since I was ten years old, so I’ve become quite speedy with a hook. My pricing is based on yarn costs, crocheting time, and Ebay & Paypal 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 currently three business days, but if sales are slow I may get it shipped sooner. (: Yarn Content: 80% Acrylic/20% Lamb's Wool Yarn Brand: Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn Label Color: Oatmeal (natural beige with black and brown) Approximate Length (full circumference unstretched): 92 inches/233 cm Approximate Width: 3 inches/7.6 cm Thickness: 1/2 inch/1.2 cm (For those allergic to wool, I also sell 100% soft acrylic bulky scarves.) 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, this area blends in nicely. (: 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. (for many of us, a scarf of this long length will be awkward to wear as only one loop since it will reach down to the ankles on a woman of average height). --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 or three loops at equal lengths to create a cowl neck. --Can be worn as four loops to create a neck warmer or bulky cowl -- great option for cold weather. --You can also keep the two layers together, inserting one end through the loop at the other end (kind of like a giant neck tie!). This is shown in the seventh photo. 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 use USPS First Class package for most of my shipments and often use Priority for multiple orders. I use the Paypal USPS integrated shipping system whenever possible, so you will be provided with a delivery confirmation number by email. 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. PAYMENTS: I only 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 & supporting American Small Businesses! (:
