So, I just got my beautiful "Pavements" scarf and I love it! The colors are great, the scarf is in perfect condition, it came all wonderfully packaged......but it's super STIFF! :oh:

How does a scarf get this stiff and what do I do about getting it UN-stiff?

....I mean this baby is STIFF! :shocked:

hmmmmmm.....maybe I could just hang it in the bathroom while I take a shower?

....never saw such a stiff scarf..............

I wonder if they had it dry cleaned and then pressed with starch?


....this may be a job for the local cleaners......I'd like to wear the thing but it's like trying to tie cardboard.

That could work! I have never heard of a stiff scarf unless it has either cotton or linen. Silk scarves usually stay supple and soft. But you never know. It could have gone through a washing machine or something and poof! Steam usually softens the fabric- if not, take it to your dry cleaner and ask them for advice.

No re-issues HG?

I'm thinking the seller had it dry cleaned and then they used starch to press it. Hems are nice and plump but the creases were really creased.
