Diamonds & Rust Scarf

The author chose Lunatic Fringe Yarns' naturally colored cotton to create this scarf and welcomed the opportunity to utilize its surprising natural range of color, with the intent of creating a scarf with a mix of freeform and structured weaving to evoke an earthy feeling of growth.

Made of a soft, light fabric, this scarf is perfect for a cool day, any time of the year.
