Women's knitted dickey Baltic wind

Dickey is a very comfortable and useful item for cold season. Its scarf-collar covers neck, breast and shoulders from cold wind, and can be necessary at home when you have a sore throat or your neck is caught a draft. In such cases dry heat is needed which can be provided by the dog wool.

Turtleneck collar of the dickey has double cloth for perfect form and closer fitting of the collar. For more convenience there is a closing behind of two additional stitches and two buttons. Japonic pattern covers all collar and goes smoothly to the front of the dickey. It not only serves as a good adornment, but also has a ribbing effect as there is combination of front and back side mashes. As a result, the dickey can be stretched widthways as needed and sit perfectly on shoulders, breast and back.

The yarn of this women's dickey is a mix of two different kinds of dog underfur: light-gray (Keeshond) and black (Newfoundland dog), whose mixture gives silver-gray colour. But the key element of the yarn is that underfur of these dogs has long hair which is almost not fluffy. It is important for knitting dickeys, fingerless gloves, mittens, socks etc., as for these works fluffiness is rather a disadvantage than a plus side. For more softness goat underfur with long hair is added. This work is may be said for those who appreciate not only aesthetic appearance, but also comfort, softness, naturality of a knitted work and its warmness.

The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
