    help naming scarves

    I am making ruffle scarves. thee will be 3 weights. Right now I am doing a very fine cobweb one and then a little heavier one. As winter comes I will have heavier ones. I want to give the different weights different names. I thought of lace weight for the very fine one but don't know what to call the next one up. winter weight for the heavy one but a fancier name might be nicer. A friend suggested flutter, feather and fan( as in it's so warm you will need a fan). Fan is the one I don't like. it would have to be explained all the time. You folks have so creative helping people with names before I thought I would give you a try too.
    Thanks

    I like feather for the cobweb actually. Did you research Etsy to see what other people are calling it? I have found in my many endeavors selling many things that if you go too outside the box, people don't get it. I would suggest sticking to something really simple and easy to explain. Simple is always best.

    I like feather for the cobweb weight too.
    Since the mid-weight one will be for autumn, how about 'Harvest'?
    For winter, 'Muffle'? Then you can muffle up in your muffler!

    You know you could just name them for the seasons you wear them in.

    I like feather well enough but not flutter or fan much. I don't think I want to pin them to the seasons, people can be very narrow in their thinking. I get some odd questions sometimes. I did check etsy but most seem to be heavier and just say ruffle scarf.

    I think the light could be "light as a feather", heavy could be "warm and wooly". But then the middle one is really hard. I can only come up with "middle of the road" which sounds a bit wishy washy. The other words that come to mind are average, standard, intermediate or traditional. I can't seem to think of anything that sounds appealing for the middle one. The only other word I came up with is temperate. But that sounds too much like the weather man.

    That is my problem too. I want something more interesting than medium or standard. Oh well perhaps someone will come up with something imaginative. My husband sugested comfort for the middle one. Thats closer I think but not quite it.

    Not easy is it?

    I've been chewing the end of my pen for a while and I've come up with a few suggestions, but I'm not sure.....

    Spring Breeze, Autumn Snuggler, Winter Warmer.

    Warm Days, Chilly Days, Cold Days.

    classic, traditional, not quite right either. it is hard to find a good fashion word for medium weight.

    I like autumn snuggler for the middle one, explains itself pretty much.
