When you put on a Necky Scarf you will forget you own any others. The Necky Scarf is so warm and comfortable you’ll never use your old scarves again, for your neck that is.

Don’t throw out those old scarves though they can be recycled into useful items. The first item is a throw or blanket for your couch or bed. Sew them together lengthwise for a throw  or sew them back to back first and fill them with feathers or filling. Then you can sew them together for a thick and warm blanket of many colors and patterns.

The other project involves cutting them lengthwise into strips and then mixing up the strips and braiding them. As you finish each one sew another onto the end until you have a very long braid. Then you can wind the braid into circle and sew together for a throw rug or soft bathmat.

Don’t forget the obvious uses also such as draft stoppers on windowsills or under doors.

All of these are great ideas for using old scarves that have been replaced with the Necky!

1) Decorate your windows with your scarf collection. Use them as curtain tie backs or valances. Sew on tiny details, such as rhinestones or beads for added flair. Or, sew several scarves together and use them as window treatments or curtains.

2) Frame your scarves for some instant artwork that won’t cost much. Use your better-looking scarves, such as a silk-made one that is lightweight and beautiful in color. This is a great way to add instant color to any ordinary room. And, don’t forget to get creative with how you lay or fold your scarf on the matting.

3) Cover the fireplace or table with your old scarves. Stretch them out and iron them for a clean and pressed look. Use them as table runners or toss them over your mantle piece. Not only will your tables and fireplace have a freshened-up look, but the scarves can help protect the surfaces from nicks and scratches.

4) Wrap old scarves around your throw pillows for a look that makes a bold statement. This is a great way to freshen up old pillows without having to buy new ones. And, you can swap out the scarves on a regular basis for new-looking pillows all the time!

5) Use the scarves to tie around decorative accents, such as vases. Large candles work well, too, and you can get away with turning your collectibles into instant works of art.

6) Make a fashion statement by reusing your scarves as bandannas on a hot and humid day, or while working out. Scarves can also be tied around the waist or worn loosely around the neck as an accessory.

The reason why some men are hesitant to loop and tie their scarves is for fear that they will look too feminine. Yet some designers swear that this is the latest fashion trend and that men should proudly wear their scarves outside of their coats. Others disagree and instead feel that a man’s scarf should be tucked underneath his coat, with only the top exposed above the collar and the tie within view.

The good news is that men have plenty of choices when it comes to wearing a scarf. Here are some pointers – when wearing a lightweight, silky scarf , tuck it underneath the jacket and use it to bring in some color. When wearing thick, knitted scarves on the other hand, be creative, and loop and knot away!!

If you live in a cold climate, winter scarves are probably a necessary part of your wardrobe. After all, without these handy accessories, your neck would be cold and the skin would be exposed. And, you can’t deny the cute and trendy appearances that scarves instantly add to any winter outfit.

However, scarves are not recommended for young children, as the long ends can pose as a strangulation hazard, especially when participating in winter activities, such as sledding or tobogganing. It’s also not uncommon for kids to resist wearing scarves, as they can be big, bulky, and uncomfortable to wear. Instead of worrying about the length of your child’s scarf or simply skipping it all together, there’s an alternative – the Necky Scarf.
