Vintage Wrap & Scarf by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas

Geometric cool.

We love the delicate drama of our favorite afghan stitch rendered in an ethereal lace-weight mohair. Two high-contrast colors offer geometric cool. Crocheted lengthwise, this piece has a slightly finicky start, but once you get the rhythm, you won’t be able to put it down!

In Isager Silk Mohair, the zigs and zags of the Vintage Crocheted Scarf has a silky-sheer bliss. The soft shimmer of silk glows through the airy halo of mohair in this lace-weight yarn. Crocheted in Silk Mohair, this scarf is so light, it nearly defies gravity.
