You put them on because it’s cold and take them off as soon as you are indoors. And then there’s this one. MULTI PLAIDS is the kind of scarf that completes your outfit, brightens up your coat, and is large enough to secretly use as a blanket at the office. Now that is something we love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scarf is made from 100% pure wool and features a colorful plaid design with a soft, watercolor-like appearance. Mustard yellow, rust red, olive green, purple, petrol, blue-gray, and cream blend together beautifully. It’s definitely colorful, but because the shades are all slightly muted, it never looks loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge wool scarf from Living Crafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMade of 100% pure wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMulesing-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMulticolored plaid design with watercolor effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: approximately 75 x 200 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft, warm, and surprisingly light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eCan also be worn as a shawl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for women and men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA scarf with a wealth of color and endless possibilities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMULTI PLAIDS doesn’t have a single primary color that dictates what you have to wear it with. It contains so many different shades that there is almost always one that matches your coat, sweater, or cardigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe large panels are reminiscent of a hand-painted patchwork. The checks are not rigid or perfectly symmetrical but have a more playful watercolor effect. It looks as if someone sat down with an enormous paint box and stopped at exactly the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can pair this scarf with, for example:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea dark blue, green, or black winter coat;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea camel or sand-colored wool coat;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea simple sweater in olive green, burgundy, or dark gray;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea denim jacket on a cool spring day;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea solid-colored dress or top that could use a little extra color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd do you have a coat in a color you think nothing goes with? There is a good chance that one of the shades in this scarf is exactly what it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the design woven or printed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colorful plaid design is printed on the wool fabric. Living Crafts uses a pattern inspired by a hand-painted design for this. This gives the color blocks a soft, artistic look rather than the sharp lines of a classic tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe print does not feel thick or rubbery on the material. You can still feel the fine texture and suppleness of the wool. The ends of the scarf are finished with a subtle, short fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e75 by 200 centimeters: this really gives you options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a size of approximately 75 x 200 cm, MULTI PLAIDS is generous without being awkwardly heavy. You can wear it in several ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eloosely around your neck, so the design remains clearly visible;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ewrapped once or twice on a cold day;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003edraped broadly over your shoulders as a shawl;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eover a coat as a colorful eye-catcher;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eas an extra warm layer at the office or on the go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn your bike, you can wrap it loosely around your neck. On the train, you can unfold it over your shoulders. And on the couch, it is officially still a scarf, although we certainly won't stop you from using it as a blanket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarm without a huge bundle of wool around your neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool can retain a lot of heat without needing to be a very thick or heavy fabric. The scarf feels light and supple, yet forms a cozy layer around your neck and shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the fibers can absorb and release moisture. This means wool feels less clammy when you walk from outside into a warm building. Wool also naturally resists odors, so the scarf usually doesn’t need to be washed often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiving Crafts describes the wool as soft. However, wool remains a natural fiber and every skin reacts differently. Are you very sensitive around your neck or do you find many wool garments itchy? Do come and feel the scarf for yourself first. We can enthusiastically claim it’s lovely, but your neck ultimately has the final say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes MULTI PLAIDS sustainable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scarf is made entirely of wool and contains no polyester or acrylic to make the material cheaper or extra soft. Wool is a renewable natural fiber that can last for years with proper care. Because the fiber naturally holds fewer odors, the scarf requires much less frequent washing than many synthetic alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool is mulesing-free. This means the sheep have not been subjected to mulesing: a painful procedure where skin around the hindquarters is removed to prevent flystrike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scarf is produced for Living Crafts by Vrijesh Natural Fibre in Vapi, Gujarat, India. Living Crafts makes this production location public. The company has been GOTS-certified for years and works toward verified environmental and social standards within the production chain. This specific scarf, however, is offered as 100% pure wool and not separately as a GOTS-certified product. We like to be transparent about that distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most sustainable quality remains very practical: this is not a scarf that has to go out of style after one season. The colors are distinctive but not trend-sensitive. Maintain it well, wear it for a long time, and perhaps pass it on someday—that is what truly makes a beautiful wool scarf sustainable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wash this wool scarf without a heart attack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe good news: wool almost never needs to be washed. Hang the scarf outside or in front of an open window after wearing it and let the fibers do their work. It will often smell fresh again afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs there a small spot on it? Try to remove it carefully on the spot first. Do not rub hard, as this can cause the wool fibers to felt and damage the printed color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf a full wash is necessary after all? Follow the care label and wash the scarf gently by hand in cool to lukewarm water. Use only a small amount of a suitable wool detergent with lanolin, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanalicious\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not use a standard wash program, fabric softener, or bleach. Too much detergent, high temperatures, and excessive friction can damage both the wool and the colors. Do not let the scarf soak for long and ensure the wash and rinse water are at about the same temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not wring it out; gently press the water from the fabric. Roll the scarf in a clean towel to absorb extra moisture if needed. Then, carefully reshape it and let it dry flat in the air. The tumble dryer is strictly off-limits—unless you want to end up with a wonderful doll-sized scarf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn my video \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MGTNuZCUOMo\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eon washing wool\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, I show you step-by-step how to handle it.
