How to choose your next scarf colour!

How to choose your next scarf colour!

Sssssoooo … I wanted to make myself a single-coloured scarf that would match most of my winter woolies.So how did I make my decision?I took out my most-worn items, and the ones that I would need a scarf to match with.I noted my dominant colours.Then I chose a colour that matched all of those colours.Think outside the box - usually I just go for black, as it matches EVERYTHING! But sometimes a colour (even a bright one) can act like a ‘neutral’ with the right outfit.How about you? How do you choose your accessories?

New scarves at The Jam Factory

New scarves at The Jam Factory

Mustard / Dusty Pink Vintage weave!I had a request to make a couple more of these for The Jam Factory, and I had forgotten how much I love this weave structure!For the weaving nerds out there, it’s a 4 shaft M & W draft.
