A Handmade Wool Felted Scarf
THE SNOOD
Also known as the infinity scarf, the snood has been around for a while now. I do very much like the idea of a complete round, around your neck.
For those that are a little unsure what the snood is.... its a scarf that does not have an end. It is one continuous loop. Wool felting lends itself to this idea, because you can felt it in a complete loop without any seams. The scarf has been felted in such a way there is no back or front.
For this scarf, I have incorporated some beautiful silver mesh detailing. click here to view a close up. The scarf is in a riot of purple and mauve hues with slashes of abstract red. The silver mesh is in strips. the circumference of the scarf is 200 cm which gives you a luxurious twice round the neck, with some amazing draping quality. it is 38 cm wide so the second wrap around the neck can be lifted over your head to form a hood - hence scarf and hood makes snood. The layer upon layer of wool laid out is what makes the design. The slashes of colour weave in an out in complete riot, slithering around the scarf. The softness of Merino gives it a luxurious feel.
The scarf is available on Amazon UK
