Do you offer winter scarves in a snood or neckwarmer format?

Yes. A snood or neckwarmer is knitted as a closed loop with no open ends, so it is pulled over the head and sits around the neck without tying.

Construction - the loop is knitted in the round or joined with a seam, in a single tube or a double-layer tube. A double layer holds its shape better and hides the inside face; a single layer is lighter and cheaper.

Yarn and weight - a snood needs enough body to stand away from the neck rather than cling. Wool blends and cashmere blends both work; a finer yarn gives a closer, more compact neckwarmer, a heavier yarn gives a looser, softer cowl.

Minimum - a snood is a distinct knitted shape with its own programme, so the minimum is set per design and colourway in the same way as an open scarf. Colours and designs can be mixed to reach the per-colour minimum of 20 pieces.

Versus an open scarf - an open scarf is one size and one style of wear; a snood is fixed in circumference and drop, so sizing and the neck opening need to be agreed before sampling.

Send the circumference, depth and yarn preference and we will confirm the construction and minimum at quotation stage.
