These Color Tipped Scarves are a celebration of what’s new! This month Purl Soho welcomes twelve fresh colors to our palette and a brand new yarn to our collection: Say hello to, Worsted Twist Heather, a softly dappled, classic tweed without the classic scratchiness. All these new colors and yarns come together here in our Color Tipped Scarves for a feast of the senses. Rich colors and cool neutrals, sensuous merinos and gentle tweeds, it’s a party!

Color Tipped Scarf in New Colors + New Yarns | Purl Soho

Our original Color Tipped Scarves were knit up in just Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist, but this season’s version makes subtle play of the contrasts in all of Purl Soho’s worsted weight yarns. Clean and crisp Worsted Twist abuts downy Alpaca Pure, who neighbors stippled Worsted Twist Heather. The effect is complex, subtle and absolutely beautiful!
