Comments on: Fabulous washed-wool scarves from J. Crew http://www.youlookfab.com/2008/09/25/fabulous-washed-wool-scarves-from-j-crew/ Free advice from a fashion pro Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:47:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Joelle http://www.youlookfab.com/2008/09/25/fabulous-washed-wool-scarves-from-j-crew/#comment-31945 Joelle Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:07:29 +0000 http://www.youlookfab.com/2008/09/25/fabulous-washed-wool-scarves-from-j-crew/#comment-31945 The colors in that scarf in the photo are just lovely. $49 is quite expensive for a scarf, but I will definitely check J Crew out next time they have a sale. I sympathize with the allergy sufferers. I can wear wool most of the time with no problem, but occasionally get a rash, even if it's an item I have worn many times before in perfect comfort. I'm not sure why that is. The colors in that scarf in the photo are just lovely. $49 is quite expensive for a scarf, but I will definitely check J Crew out next time they have a sale.

My dad suffers from wool allergies too. I do to some degree, but not all wool bothers me. You’re certainly not alone Angie. My dad suffers from wool allergies too.

I'll have to check these scarves since you can wear them. The polka-dots sound like fun!

JCrew's retail strategy changes every year. Perhaps Ana will chime in. Patience, these scarves are definitely not as soft as cashmere, but I’ve found that they do the trick. Kristers, I’m glad to hear I’m not alone wrt my wool allergy. I don’t come across many people who suffer like we do. Antje does as well, and that’s the sum total of people I know who battle wear wool. It’s us against wool! Tanya, the cranberry and purple solids have your name written all over them.

I too get a rash/hives with wool close to the skin [and very itchy with all things cashmere] and folks think I'm being dramatic. I'll try to find a store and check it out!

I can hardly wait to see all of those colors, but I will wait for the sale to look at them since our weather here as been the same every day for a while, low 60s in the mornings and mid 80s the rest of the day. It looks like summer is sticking around here for a while. Lovely!
