I love this scarf. It is so comfy and warm for the winter and I splurged on the yarn - its made out of a really nice, soft mohair. I bought it at a great yarn store very conveniently located on my block, called Knitty City. I love Knitty City. It is a dangerous store for me to enter since the yarn is so nice and most of my crochet projects are destined to be spit-up on.
