The best late summer days feel like three in one—slow, easy, productive, yet full of moments where time slips away. You swap your cozy couch for a coffee walk with an audiobook, finally tackle those lingering errands under the sunny sky, and by afternoon, join the park crowd chasing the sun until shadows take over.

Your Amersfoort Scarf, fresh off the needles, is with you all day. It’s there in the morning for your walk, keeps you warm but light as you run errands, becomes your pillow while you soak up the sun, and wraps you in warmth when the evening chill arrives. These sweet days won’t last forever, but when they do, you’ll have the perfect scarf to savor them.

The Amersfoort Scarf is knit in Origin by Walcot Yarns. This colorway, Juniper, isn’t just any green. It’s a deep, earthy shade that feels like it belongs in the wild—like it was plucked from the mossy edges of a forest! When you wear it, you bring along the comfort and calm of walking through nature - brushing leaves with your shoulder, birds playing tag above you and a gentle, sweet breeze.
