I knit my own scarves and hats by hand and not machine. This is a nice design acrylic scarf with ruffles at each end. It is great for people who don't like fringe on their scarves. It can be machine washed and dried but always do it carefully and only when necessary to keep the integrity of the scarf. The scarf is about 72 inches long and 4 to 4 1/2 inches wide. it keeps your neck nice and warm, especially if it is wrapped. If you would like a longer or shorter scarf, please let me know before you order. If I have the scarf in inventory I can ship it right away. If I don’t than I have to knit it before I ship. That is when you can make a specific request.
