Scarves Chiffon (mousseline) scarves

[scarf1]

Been meaning to add my newest little addition here. Jeux de Paille PM in red. I wanted something "romantic" in mousseline for some time now and have searched high and low for an Amours in a CW that I like, but no luck. Then I stumbled on to this little guy. As with most moussies, it suffers a bit when viewed flat but once it is folded it gets more lively and has really grown on me. I love the cute birds (sorry I barely know a sparrow from a parakeet so I don't know if these are turtle doves or lovebirds...both would seem to fit the theme) and the little hearts in the center, plus the cute bachelor button-like flowers on the edges remind me of my grandma, who always grew bachelor buttons in her garden.

Beautiful on you! Is that a 90?

Thank you scarf1! It is a 90. This is probably the best size for me in mousse. Leaves things a bit finite unless they start making them again, but it's probably better that way.

Such a lovely design, bunnycat!
Congrats!

Thank you Kelly!

One of my favorites: ExLibris Silk and Cotton Stole

I have the black and white version, and it's my favorite size and material of scarf to wear. I regret not getting your color way! It's very pretty.

Posting some pictures from Alice Shirleys instagram, which is full of details on the recent Singapore store opening and her gorgeous designs. Looks like she is wearing UTW moussie over/as a dress? Stunning!

Wow I didn't know she was there, great photos, thanks!

Thank you Ouija board. It is so comfy, isn't it. I have the one with the brown background as well. Now I have to look for yours.

Thank you klynneann! The juxtaposition of the romantic scarf and casual tee shirt I thought would be fun.

It's gorgeous!

Is the double side plain? And it is pale or darker than the other? I haven't seen many double moussies and am curious about them. How is the weight of a double compared to regular twill? Do you find it thicker or still thinner because of the mousse?

Wow I didn't know she was there, great photos, thanks!

I know I was so excited to find her and see her rocking the utw moussie...are we twins on that yet??

Yes I think we are triplets on that mousseline!

bunnycat, I won't have time today, but either tomorrow or Tuesday, I will get it out again and take pictures of both sides. I may even weigh it! I will only be able to compare the moussie weight to the 70 cm vintage silk weight, since they are the same size. The other side is not plain. They both have the pattern on.

On a side note, I went looking to find out which knot I used and see that I invented a new one because of my fading memory! I started out to tie a chou chou knot. But instead of a half knot with the two opposite corners, I tried a full knot.....and then pulled the two leftover corners thru the middle and ended with those leftover corners changing places with each other. I don't think this new, mixed up knot, can even be termed a variation on the chou chou!

Interesting bobkat. It Sounds a little like flower knot but on a 70 instead of a 45 maybe. Can't wait to see it flat too!
