I got this idea from my sister Jan. She bought a scarf like this from a lady who just got back from Peru. This is the style in Peru. I knew I could make more to sell. Rachel is helping me with all the yarn.
It was tedious but so much fun. So many colors and textures.
It's like we were swimming in colors.
Rachel made one of her own.
Here is what they look like when they are made. I'm off to work - and will sell themat the PTA bazaar. Bazaar.

Fun! And Rachel looks DARLING! I love her top.
We would love to get the details of how you made them. There are so many in the photos that it is hard to see the details. They look awesome adn I have a 10 year old who adores wearing scarves (and making them too) Can you get us the details?
The idea is from Peru. It is so simple - I have made one to match every skirt I own! Cut very long strips of yarn. I usually make them 3 arm spreads wide. You can see that the variety of yarn is what makes the scarves so unique and beautiful. Variety is the key. Take the long string of yarn and fold it in half. Take that loop and put it inside the ring and loop it over - making a knot. You will now have 2 strings hanging down. Do it again and again putting more and more strings on. Sometimes - put 2 strings together - so it's fatter there. Do it until you like it. Thick or thin. Email me and I'll send you one to your house. I sell them at the school for $10.00. I also focused on Hannah Montana ones to sell to all the little girls - a smashing success!! (those are pinks - purples and gold)
