FAQ - What Are These Made Of?

One of the first things customers do when they approach our booth is touch our scarves. They are always curious about the softness of each accessory and how it will feel against their skin. Their first question is, "What are these made of?"

Our necklets, eyeglass chains, waterfall scarves, and other lighter weight accessories are made out of 100% nylon thread. We generally use a 3 ply thread which better handles the size and weight of the beads. A few of our colors are only available in a 2 ply which limits the styles for which we can use them. There is a wide variety of colors available.

Our heavier weight scarves are made out of an acrylic based yarn. Some have a metallic thread running through them as well as other synthetic fibers. Again, there are a variety of colors available. If you don't see one that you like, simply ask. We love custom orders!

All styles are hand washable and are very soft against your skin. The wide loops also make each design very lightweight and comfortable to wear for a day at the office or date night.


People also pick up our pine needle baskets and comment on how firm and sturdy they are. Baking the needles, using long leaf pine needles, firm stitches and wide coils to hold them together, and sealing each basket with polyurethane all help to create a sturdy basket which will be useful for years to come.

We use the same nylon thread that is used for our accessories to accent and hold the pine needles together in our baskets. View a new shipment of pine needles in the photo below.
