Nothing is cut. The opening your head goes through is the gap left between the fold and that seam, which is why it cannot lie flat the way a classic poncho does, and why moving the seam changes the whole shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.15em;margin:2em 0 .5em;\"\u003eFabric and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1em;\"\u003eViscose and acrylic. The viscose is a bamboo derivative, which is where the softness comes from, and the acrylic is what makes it durable and easy to wash. It is a thick waffle weave, closer to a blanket than a scarf. Because it is sewn, you can wear it like a blanket without holding onto it, which is the whole point, and it ups the cuddle factor considerably. This is the one for outdoors, and for campfires. Hand wash, or machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, then lay flat to dry. No dryer and no dry cleaning. Because the fabric is woven, small threading variations are natural rather than a fault. Keep it away from rings and rough jewelry, and if a thread pulls, do not cut it. Tug the fabric gently in every direction and the weave will settle back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.15em;margin:2em 0 .5em;\"\u003eMade by hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1em;\"\u003eSewn by hand, one seam at a time. We have been making these and selling them at art fairs and music festivals for over a decade. Because each one is sewn by hand and the weave varies bolt to bolt, no two are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.15em;margin:2em 0 .5em;\"\u003eIs it a scarf? Is it a shawl?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 .8em;\"\u003eYou will hear these called scarf tops, and we have called them that at markets for years. The shop is called Love My Shawls. Both terms now cover several different garments, so they are worth a word of explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height:1.75;margin:0 0 1em;padding-left:1.2em;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 .35em;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot a scarf top\u003c\/strong\u003e in the current fashion sense, which means a silk square tied as a halter or bandeau and worn as the top itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 .35em;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot strictly a shawl\u003c\/strong\u003e either. A shawl has no openings and is simply draped, so it needs holding in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnically a poncho.\u003c\/strong\u003e One piece of fabric, folded once and joined with a single seam, leaving a head opening. Nothing is cut, and there is no hole in the middle of a panel. You pull it on and it stays where you put it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1em;\"\u003eA shawl falls off. A scarf has to be tied, and most people do not want to learn how. The seam fixes both: it lets this be worn as a garment, hands free. It does not have to be wrapped, and it is not going to fall off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1em;\"\u003eWe call it a poncho scarf because it is lighter and more drapey than a winter poncho.
