Four Seasons Doubleweave Scarf

This scarf is designed to represent the four seasons and “ridged” skyline of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Woven in doubleweave, two Tencel layers along each side of the scarf are joined by a center section of wool. After accidentally washing the scarf with a load of sheets, Rebecca was elated by the ruffled results of the scarf’s differential shrinkage.
