@MYH and @Pocketbook Pup: My enablers. Here's my Cheval Phoenix. At first I was overwhelmed with the amount of silk, but then as @MYH mentioned, there's a lot of versatility with the 140 size. :graucho: I'll have to keep experimenting! Really like the cowbow knot on the 140 more than the 90. :) Thank you for the excellent photos and wonderful insights on this thread! I :heart: it! Everyone have a wonderful weekend. TGIF!

It looks so beautiful on you. I agree. I like cowboy knots with 140s better than 90s. I never feel like I have enough fabric with the 90s. Try myh's double loop too. I love that method with this scarf. Happy to be your twin. [emoji2]

Yes exactly. There is a tutorial on 140s earlier in this thread. Basically you bias fold it. Then put it around your neck. Loop or cross the two sides in front of you. I don't know how to say that better. Does that make sense? Then tie the two ends behind your neck.

Hi Cygne- did you find it? Would love to learn too!!!

I'm inspired by all of you to use my scarves more. Just bought a scarf ring and I find that I'm absolutely able to rock them more easily!! Thank you all! Will post a pic later- I FINALLY used my 70 CLF- after all these years!!!

Hi Cygne18 - Congrats on your beautiful new scarf!! You have tied it beautifully in a loose cowboy knot. Yes, this one is the thick silk and quite a lot of material. But with a little patience, I have no doubt that you will learn to tame the beast!!

For the twisted loop knot, it's basically what PbP described. Start with a bias fold and drape around the back of your neck with the two tails hanging down in front of you. Make sure they are even and then cross them over each other twice around chest level or a little lower. Then take the two tails and tie a knot in the back of your neck. To play around with making it look casual/sloppy, give the tails a twist or two before crossing them over or even after crossing them and see if you like that better. I hope that makes sense and let me know if it works out for you.

:hugs:
