We’ve listed this shop on Straight Wharf first because it had better be your first stop. Our staff pick here will sell out before you can say “Christmas Stroll.” Every year they design a new warm and cozy scarf made with a jacquard knitting process to commemorate Nantucket’s Christmas Stroll. They’ve become collectibles and the limited supply will be gone before Stroll Weekend is over. All we can share with you about the 2019 scarf are the colors: red, white, and green.
