Vintage green plaid woven scarf, 100% wool. Tag says “Made in Scotland for Carroll Reed, North Conway, New Hampshire.”
Note that this scarf is a true woven fabric, meaning it’s constructed of separate thread colors - the greens and white - woven on a loom to create the fabric pattern, versus printing the plaid pattern onto the material. Woven fabrics are a higher quality than printed, and Scotland in particular is known for their history with woven wool textiles!
In excellent condition, no stains, holes or repairs.
Care: hand wash cool; lay flat to dry.
Measurements: about 51” long and 10” wide.
About our Vintage Knits:
We love giving woolens and handmade knit and crochet items a new home! It's a great way to honor the work of these makers, and a sustainable way to shop.
We call this section "vintage knits" in that we don't generally know the age or provenance of these items, or the yarn that made them. Occasionally our shop's knit samples also make it in here!
We carefully select only the items that speak to us as beautiful and high-quality makes, and ensure they are in good condition. We check each one for minor repairs, and wash small items (hats, mittens, cowls) so that they'll be ready to wear or gift once you receive them.
All items are sold as-is; woolens and handmade items are perfectly imperfect, and we don't consider these defects, just the nature of a handmade wardrobe! We make every effort to include clear photos, measurements and descriptions; please review carefully and message us with any questions, as we cannot accept returns from our Vintage Knits category. We want you to love and enjoy each item here!
Hand wash all wool and handmade knit and crochet items in cool water with a mild soap like Soak. Wool is naturally antimicrobial, and hand knits last longer with less fuss and washing - just wear them and enjoy!
