Here in Canada it is Thanksgiving weekend which marks the start of cold days, comfort food and making sure you have all your winter layers in order. Having just moved here from Mexico I am lacking considerably in the sock/scarf/mitten/toque department and so decided to use this weeks 'Lunes Loves Etsy' feature to remedy my problem.

This is how I stumbled into Yokoo - a well styled knit shop that serves everything up super-sized. When it comes to scarves I like them BIG (and apparently some shade of grey, judging from the pictures I pulled) which is pretty much the Etsy store Yokoo's specialty. The shop is filled to brim of oversized, cozy winter layering pieces all of which are made-to-order and available in a rainbow of colours.

My favourite piece is not knit at all - the scarf in the top photo is 100% cotton and screen printed - I think it's one of the most beautiful scarves I've come across yet.
