I have a friend with COPD who could probably use a good winter scarf. What
fiber or brand would you reccommend? I'd like this to be really special.

Jaggerspun Zephyr. 50/50 fine merino and wool. He can wear it under
something heftier and scratchier in really bad weather, or alone in
reasonablly cold but unwindy temps.
Cashmere. Any sort of 100% cashmere.
Polwarth/qiviut blend from http://www.minimills.net (they've changed
the website so I have no idea how you'll go about ordering from them,
but I used some of thisyarn for bedsocks and it is just amazing)

Wooly I have used the same yarn for a scarf for myself. I am always
making something special for some one else so, I asked one of my local
friends and they recomendation was the same.
I LOVE IT, the scarf I made was black and dark grey.
Hugs & God bless,

I used pitch and slate from below. I thought it was the same blend as
Wooly's but it has Alpaca also. I love it and so will he. In 25 years
I have not found a yarn I like better for a scarf. I did a simple 2x2
ribbing alternating colors every inch and a half.
Wooly have you used this yarn and what to you think?
