Grandma means well with her scarf knitting.

But it’s your road to hell that’s paved with her good intentions — in the form of bizarre color combos, strange designs, and uneven stitches.

For a reprieve from the homespun version, try one of La Bufanda’s scarves. Hand-crafted on a loom, each is made with luxurious chenille yarn and specialty threads, then hand-finished with knotted ribbons of hand-dyed silk.

The designs are inspired by everyday life and given names (like Rumba Moon, Holiday Glam, and Venetian Violet) based on the color and the feeling they evoke.

You may still have to wear Grandma’s specialties on family occasions.

But your La Bufanda should atone for her sins.
