Do the Shimmery 2in1 Happy Dance!!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation23 Comments

Can I even begin to tell you how happy these scarves make me??  The Shimmery is my forever dream scarf (I’ve been wearing my gold one for YEARS!) and the 2 in 1s make all my braiding fantasies possible!   Here are two styles I’ve been wearing lately!  Woohoo!

First of all… the elegant double twist braid (with the ends tucked in instead of out) done with the 2 in 1s  – it’s never been easier!

And now my two current favourite Shimmery colours: Teal and Green!  Been doing a version of the zig zag criss cross with these!


I will say this again and again (and again!):  the MOST important part of tichel tying is having fun!  I am so lucky that I get to do this mitzvah of embracing my soul, marriage, and self worth in such a beautiful way every day!  Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Wow!  Hello stunning colour combinations!  Check out all the different looks you can get from this wrap – all created by the ladies of Wrapunzel!  Great technique, girls!!  (Click on the photos to see them up close!)

This is Naomi. When this photo was taken she wasn’t yet covering her hair publicly.

(Yep, I stuck myself in there as well because I wanted to join the party!)
I have to mention that over Shabbat I met a woman for the first time lo and behold she was rocking the zig-zag criss-cross!  What a treat and a bit of a surreal too!  I am so proud of you all!  Thank you everyone for your submissions and keep up the awesome work!  (And yes, you can still send in photos and I will add them to this post.)  Yay wrapping sisterhood solidarity!

The Non-Braided Braid

My favourite colour combination!  When wrapping these two scarves, I was left with the brown ends being much longer than the blue/brown ones.  To help even them out, I held the blue/brown ones straight, and then criss-crossed the brown ones around it, making the ends even at the bottom!  To fasten, I just wound one of the brown ends around the bottom and tied.  The brown and gold antique pin tied the wrap together perfectly.  Enjoy!
