Felted Merino Scarf Cherry

Cherry on top.

Deep cherry red, rich as a glass of something good on a winter evening, with loose loops of blush pink swirling over the whole length like ribbons caught in the wind. The contrast is soft rather than stark, so it feels romantic and a little bit playful at the same time. Flip it over for a curly, cosy dusty-rose reverse, finished with a fine raspberry stitched edge.

Every loop is drawn by hand in wool. With Nuno felting, fine merino fibres are laid out one colour at a time, then worked with water, soap and patience until they bond into a single light, supple cloth. Handcrafted in Italy in 100% merino wool, which means these swirls exist on this scarf and nowhere else.

Red is never a neutral, but this one behaves beautifully with neutrals. Wear it with a black coat and red lipstick, a grey knit and jeans, or a camel coat for that effortless Milanese look. Perfect for festive season, Valentine's dinners and every grey Tuesday in between.

Please Note

Every one of these scarves is individually felted by hand. Variations in colour, texture and the flow of the felted lines are not imperfections but part of the beauty of the process. This scarf is the only one of its kind, which is rather the point. You're wearing the original, not a copy.

Care Note

Merino felted without chemical treatments likes to form little "pills" where it rubs. Think of them as a certificate of quality: they're proof of pure, untreated wool, and they lift off easily with a fabric shaver or lint remover. Dry cleaning is best. If you prefer, hand wash with a brief soak in cold water and a wool and silk detergent, press out the water gently (no wringing) and dry flat. Iron only if you really must, inside out and with extreme care.
