that's a great idea using it for a wall hanging...I hadn't thought of that because their long length would make it awkward to work with & i don't do starch! but if it's a family item i would make an exception--
my question is are you going to frame it or put it under glass or not? i think that would make a big difference in how you are going to handle that project...can't wait to see that!
i've never heard of it called "scarf"
