This stripy scarf is our attempt to resolve this situation. We tried using nuno-felt technique in a sectional fashion, achieving an even thinner scarf and creating visual characteristics at the same time.
**Fiber content｜100% yak down fiber, **
the white stripes are cotton gauze
**Size｜24cm X 190cm **
(The size would not be too accurate since it is hand-felted.)
The color of our felt scarf came directly from its original undye yak down fiber. The color of the fiber may vary according to various facetors, such as the collecting season and location, the health condition, the age of the yaks, etc.
**Care Instruction for Felt Scarf**
01- Removing wrinkles
To deal with slight wrinkles, you can use the steam from a kettle or use a garment steamer and run the scarf over hot steam. That will smooth the wrinkles. In the case of severe wrinkles, apply steam (or you may just use a mist sprayer) on the scarf and set the iron on the wool setting, then put a cotton bath towel over the scarf when ironing. Do not leave the iron in one spot for more than a few seconds. This could prevent damaging the fibers.
When finished, leave the scarf on a flat surface or a hanger to dry completely before wearing. This will help prevent deep wrinkles from forming if you wear it damp.
02- Washing
If washing is needed, immerse the scarf in cool water and wash gently by hand. Gently wring out the water by hand and then spin-dry. After washing there would be plenty of wrinkles, so follow the above instruction if wrinkles are not favored.
03- Dealing with piling
It is recommended to remove pilling by cutting with scissors or hair trimmer rather than pulling.
04- Long-term storage
If not in use for some time, it is recommended to store the scarf in a breathable, sealed bag after basic cleaning, to prevent it from molding or insects and household pests damages.
