More about my oversized mosaic stitch scarves…

These oversized blanket scarves are soft and cosy to wear, and surprisingly light. They are easy to look after, and will last you for years if you look after them properly. Read ‘how to look after your scarf’ (to the right) and check out my garment care page for some laundering ‘how-to’s.

These scarves are wider and longer than a classic scarf. There are endless styling permutations - I’ve shown only a few here (above). You can find some further ideas on my blog post ‘how to wear your big scarf/blanket scarf’.

There is no wool at all in these scarves so they are not at all itchy.

They are fully washable and easy to look after. No need to dry clean.

See garment care for details.

  • Knitted clothes and accessories are probably the perfect example of ‘slow fashion’. I believe that we should choose the clothing we buy carefully, select items which will last, ideally keep them for years, and know how to look after each piece.

    And because I knit only very small quantities of each piece, wastage is reduced, and production is more sustainable. Nothing is made in the far east, everything is handmade in Britain, slowly and carefully, and made to last.

    I’m delighted to say that some of my customers are still wearing knits they bought from me 20 years ago.

  • Delivery/shipping to UK mainland is currently free for full price items. If your item is in stock I usually dispatch in 2-3 days of receiving your order. Delivery within the UK usually takes 3-5 days from dispatch. Worldwide delivery takes longer than delivery within the UK. You can find more detailed information on my shipping/delivery/returns page.

    Destinations outside the UK add the cost of shipping at checkout. USA orders will have the tariff automatically included together with the shipping cost. More details on all of the above can be found on my delivery/shipping/returns page.

  • These scarves are knit in 74% cotton 20% silk 3% linen 3% viscose.

  • These scarves are much bigger than a typical scarf. They measure approximately 68cm wide x 180cm long.

    The size means you can use your blanket scarf as a wrap on cooler days or evenings. Great for those of us who feel the cold! You can also wear it or style it in many different ways - as you would with a smaller (more normal) size scarf. Have a look at the pictures I have included above for ideas.

  • I recommend that you hand wash your scarf in cool or tepid water (not hot) using a gentle non-biological washing powder/cleanser. Rinse it thoroughly.

    As an alternative to hand washing, if your washing machine has a reliable delicate/gentle programme you can use this to wash your scarf at a low temperature using a gentle non-biological cleanser. Pop the scarf in a laundry bag or pillow slip if you are washing it with other items so nothing can catch on it to damage it.

    To dry your scarf you can spin it on a slower speed and/or roll or squeeze it gently in a towel to remove most of the water.

    Lay it flat (eg on a towel) to dry fully. If needed you can gently ease it into shape and size while it’s still damp. And also if needed you can pat the edges of the scarf into shape.

    You can read more general garment care information here. Or ask me - I’m always happy to help.

  • No - definitely not. Please wash it, don’t dry clean it.

  • Yes, it’s fully washable. Please see ‘how to look after your scarf’ above and ‘garment care’ for full details.

  • No, I’m afraid it’s not suitable for vegans as it contains silk.

  • No. It’s totally wool-free so it’s not all itchy.

  • If you wish you are welcome to add one of my beautiful gift boxes tied with with a ribbon of your choice to your order. If it helps, I can even send your order directly to the recipient with a gift message from you (for when you’ve run out of time).
