Soft Solid Cream SUMMER SCARF Infinity Loop Skinny Off White Handmade Crochet

Description: SMALL SOLID CREAM INFINITY LOOP SCARF / CROCHETED NECKLACE Extremely Soft & Lightweight Small and Narrow Solid Cream Infinity Scarf hand-crocheted with a silky, smooth high quality acrylic yarn. I crocheted two strands together which makes for an extra soft and cushion-y feel. While the scarf is small and lightweight, it's just heavy enough to fall and drape beautifully. The color is called Cream but it's not quite the same light cream color I'm used to with my other yarns. After comparing it to other creams, I realized it has the tiniest hint of pink or orange, just enough that I'd consider it a light champagne white. It's a beautiful, classy color. This brand of yarn is called Soft & Shiny, with more of a sheen than my other summer yarns. This little accessory type of scarf is great for adding some color to a warm-weather outfit. While it can provide a little warmth if needed, it functions mainly as a fashion accessory and is great for spring and summer. Just like any infinity scarf, it can be worn in quite a few different ways. 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 five business days, but if sales are slow I may get it shipped sooner. (: I (Michele) design and hand-crochet all of my scarves. My pricing is based on yarn costs, crocheting time, and Ebay & Paypal seller fees. For more infinity scarves and buttoned neck warmers, please visit my Ebay store to view all of my handmade scarves: http://stores.ebay.com/Micheles-Handmade-Scarves --Yarn: 100% Acrylic --Yarn Brand & Color: Loops & Threads Soft & Shiny in Cream --Approximate Length (full circumference unstretched): 50 inches/127 cm --Width: 2 inches/5 cm --Thickness: 3/8 inch/.8 cm --Weight: 1.8 oz/ 50g This yarn is 100% soft acrylic, so no itchiness. It’s long enough to be looped once, twice, and possibly three times on smaller sizes. Three loops will transform it into a snug neck warmer. If you'd like to loop the scarf three times and think it may need to be a bit longer, just send me a message and I'll be happy to add a few inches to the length. You can also choose to keep the two layers together, wrap it around your neck, then guide one scarf end through the loop of the other end, creating a feminine neck tie. For scale, the mannequin represents a small woman (0 or 2), 12.5 inch neck, 34 inch chest, 24 inch waist, and 34 inch hips. The distance between shoulders is 15 inches. It's always a good idea to use a ruler or measuring tape to get a better idea of the actual size of the scarf (referencing the measurements given above). The pattern is my own design and is a combination of stitches crocheted as one continuous loop. It's crocheted "in the round" to eliminate a seam (with most infinity scarves, the area where I turn to start a new row is often slightly noticeable, but this part of the scarf can be worn behind the neck, if desired). I design my summer scarves to be cool & comfy and generally worn away from the neck, but they do look really great as Choker scarves with one loop close to the neck. Additionally, in cooler weather, they can be looped a few times to create a light neck warmer. These scarves have great range: they can complement the simplest, most casual tank tops and t-shirts, or add interest and color to sundresses and cocktail dresses. 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. (: The summer scarves are small enough that they're really easy to hand-wash in a sink, gently roll up in a towel to squeeze out excess water, then reshape and air dry. I like to add just a tiny bit of fabric softener when hand-rinsing to make the yarn even softer and static-free. 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 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. I use the Ebay/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. (: 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. 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. 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! (:
