Upcycled Necktie Scarf – Sears Acetate Yo-Yos
A scarf made with vintage neckties: acetate. Wearable art.
$45.00 Original price was: $45.00.$22.50Current price is: $22.50.
Description
This scarf was made by sewing two vintage neckties together, creating an artsy scarf. Both are labeled imported acetate. The blue one says “imported from France”. The brown one has a Sears label from The Men’s Store. I am guessing that they are from the late 60’s, on the skinny side, not flaring as later years.
I added a red medallion, also made of neck tie fabric, attached by embroidering. The center is a yo-yo, as is the one on the skinny side.

A friend of mine was moving and called all of us fiber artists over to snap up her stash of supplies. She had a barrel full of neckties and told us that whatever was left was going into the dumpster, so I grabbed a bunch. Couldn’t have that happen!
I had a lot of fun making these bold accessories (I made several). I think of this as something similar you would see in some countries, where a textile is draped for effect, more than for function.
