Thick, Colorful, and Extra Soft Winter Neck Warmer Scarf, More Color Options (please see below)
Extremely soft and thick hand-crocheted neck warmer. This warmer is double-thickness, made with two strands of extra smooth and silky Homespun yarn.
Homespun yarn is a loosely spun yarn with wavy strands that create a unique look and texture. It feels wonderful against skin and conforms perfectly to the curves of the neck and shoulders, so is ideal for a neck warmer.
The color in the photos is called “Painted Desert” and contains vibrant rust, blue, mustard yellow, and teal green along with a subtle taupe brown color that runs throughout the entire strand with the brighter colors set against it. Homespun yarns are silky with a nice, subtle sheen.
Please Note: Each scarf I make with this type of self-striping yarn will look different from the others I’ve made, since it’s hard to predict where the colors will show up in the scarf.Generally, the Painted Desert scarves always look similar with the many rich colors this yarn contains, but the striping/color blocking of the neck warmer you receive will probably not match up exactly to the pictures.
The warmer is fastened in front with two large brown wooden buttons. The spaces between crochet stitches are the âbuilt-inâ buttonholes. The pictures show just a few ways the warmer can be fastened: the buttons can be placed in different areas, offering a little creativity with the way youâd like to wear this short scarf.
The warmer in the photos will fit best on those with a neck size between 12 and 14 inches/30 and 36 cm. I will be offering more sizes: please choose whichever is closest to your own.

COLOR OPTIONS: I can make this neck warmer in several different Homespun yarn colors. I will only list colors I think will look good with the brown wooden buttons. Currently you can view many of the colors in the HOMESPUN SCARVES section of my shop or the SUMMER COWLS section: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MicheleMade?section_id=12876210&ref=shopsection_leftnav_5 AND https://www.etsy.com/shop/MicheleMade?section_id=15044652&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2. Each listing will have the yarn color name in a short list of details like the one below. Please choose the color you’d like from the drop-down menu when checking out.
Neck warmers are the perfect alternative to scarves when you need to keep your neck warm but don’t want all the extra length that a traditional scarf offers. Neck warmers fit really well underneath coats and jackets, and add a little extra color and interest to a winter outfit. They can easily be put on and taken off without messing up hair or make-up. You can wear one with a solid-colored crew-neck or v-neck sweater for extra warmth or to create a turtleneck look without the actual turtleneck. They are great for skiing, hiking, walking, or any outdoor winter activity since they can’t possibly get in your way like a traditional scarf might.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Can be washed in cool and dried in dryer, 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.
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.For Ready to Ship items, I’ll ship within two business days.For items made to order, I’ll ship as soon as I have the scarf finished (within the time-frame stated in the listing title).I use the Etsy/USPS integrated shipping system whenever possible, so you will be provided with a delivery confirmation number by email from Etsy.Most of my packages take two to six days to be delivered.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
I always combine shipping for multiple orders.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. (:
In the last four years, USPS has raised prices significantly for First Class International, in some cases more than doubling the amount they used to charge before 2013.On a positive note, as part of that price increase, they include tracking and delivery confirmation as part of the First Class service for almost all the countries I ship to.
To keep shipping costs down, I will use lightweight polymer shipping envelopes as often as possible.For multiple items, I may find a cardboard box is best.
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 buying.
PAYMENTS:
I accept credit cards, debit cards, and Etsy gift cards through Etsy’s Direct Checkout system.
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! (:
