Winter is a time for outfits accessorized by hats, gloves and scarves. When everything is cold and gray outside, these accessories can bring instant splashes of color to your day. They're nice and warm too, making you feel snug and protected against the biting air. With a baby alpaca yarn scarf you also have an easy, non-expensive way to create a variety of looks.
Yarn made of alpaca fiber is becoming increasingly popular. It's hypoallergenic because it doesn't contain lanolin, like sheep's wool does. It's less scratchy too and even when it's wet, it retains warmth, so it's perfect for rainy or snowy winter weather. The fiber coming from baby alpacas is the finest grade you can get and it's super soft and light.
A short scarf can be worn in the traditional way by being wrapped around your neck. You can knot it or simply drape it so that the ends are hanging loose. Another option is to turn it into a second collar by winding it a few times around your throat and then tucking in the ends.
For added versatility, get a scarf with a longer length. If you simply drape it, the ends should reach down to at least below your hips but preferably down to your knees. If you now loop the garment a couple of times around your throat, you'll still retain some length in the ends. You may even knot the ends afterwards for a combination of wrapping and tying.
Perfect for wearing with jackets or coats are scarves folded in half. You drape the woolly item around your neck. Then you simply take the side with the two loose ends and place this through the loop on the other side. Pull it to the tightness you want it and button up your jacket or coat over the ends, almost like you would do with a shirt over a cravat.
Another great way to wear very long scarves is to tie the two ends together so that you have a big circle. Then twist this a few times to make two or three smaller loops and drape these around your neck like you would do with a long string of beads. If you want, you may even sew the two ends of the garment together so that you'll have a permanent circle. This look works especially well with color-graded yarns or scarves with interesting patterns, such as crocheted ones, worn as a focal point with a plain polo neck.
It's not only your neck that you'll want to keep warm when you venture outside in the cold. You'll want to protect your ears too and wide scarves that can be draped over your head and then around your throat are perfect for this. A quirky twist is to invest in a scoodie, which is like a cross between a scarf and a hoodie.
To find the best baby alpaca yarns, simply look in your local needle-craft store or online. There is a variety of colors to choose from. Then learn how to knit or crochet. Scarves are the perfect projects for beginners to make because they're simple and quick to create. Moreover, you'll have something to do on those cold, boring winter nights.
