I made this for myself

    About

    Scarf in Lima alpaca yarn. This is an easy lace pattern with one row. The scarf lies perfectly flat and looks the same from both sides.

    I am allergic to acrylic yarn and some types of wool. This rules out most scarves that can be bought retail. The only way I can have a scarf to keep warm in winter is to knit it myself from cotton, silk or alpaca.

      Is this machine washable - perhaps with care, such as 30 degrees and wrapped carefully? Carol

        I have not washed mine yet, however if you use a wool cycle and lay it out carefully to dry it should wash okay.

        If you have any leftover yarn you could knit up a small square in the stitch used and try washing that.

        Most yarn has washing instructions on the ball band, so if in doubt check that. When I knit garments for other people, I always give them a photocopy of the washing instructions on the ball band.
