Magic scarf with twist
A Moebius has no beginning or end. You crochet the magical scarf in the round, as long and as wide as you want. The shape was invented by August Möbius, a German astronomer and mathematician. Hence the name Möbius or Moebius.

You choose from 2 variations:

  1. a medium length, crocheted Moebius with stripes in DROPS Air
  2. a medium length, crocheted Moebius with stripes in alpaca and sheep wool. I spun the alpaca and sheep wool myself and dyed it with various plants, including tansy. People used to burn that herb in the fireplace to scare off witches and wizards, so I thought it was appropriate in my Micca collection.

DROPS AIR
65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool
50 g = 150 m

13 Orange 50 g
07 Red 50 g
05 Brown 50 g

The Moebius scarves are part of the EVETTE bundle, together with a sweater. In turn, EVETTE is part of MICCA, a collection that pays tribute to the many victims of the witch persecution. In Europe alone, more than 100,000 alleged witches were burned at the stake. Evette was one of the victims. Together with five other women, she was strangled and burned on a hill in Ellezelles, a small village in Hainaut, Belgium, on October 26, 1610. MICCA weaves their history into timeless creations made from wire. Every stitch is part of the chain that connects us across generations.
