One of the best things about winter is the wonderful clothes you can wear. Winter outfits are just made for accessories like gloves, hats and scarves. These can add instant color to drab days and they're practical too because they provide warmth. An item like a baby alpaca yarn scarf is incredibly versatile too and you can let your imagination run wild when it comes to ways in which to wear it.
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.
Long scarves are much more versatile. If you wrap it around once, the ends will drop down quite a bit and create a floaty look. However, because it's so long, you can wrap it around many more times and still have ends that come down to your waist or hips. You may even want to wear a combination look by wrapping the item once or twice and then knotting it.
An incredibly simple option for long scarves is to fold it in half. Put it around your neck and then simply thread the two loose ends through the loop. Pull it tighter and then tuck the ends into the collar of your jacket or coat.
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.
If you live in an area with very cold winters, you'll want something to keep your head warm too. You don't necessarily have to get a hat for this, though. Simply take a wide scarf and wrap it around your head and neck, like a movie star from the Fifties. Another option is to make yourself a scoodie, which combines the best of scarves and hoodies.
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.
