Frequently asked Questions
What is a handwoven scarf?
A handwoven scarf is made on a loom by a person, not a machine - one thread at a time. The result is a fabric with a structure, texture and character that mass production cannot replicate. Every handwoven scarf from Emma Baker is unique: woven individually on a traditional floor loom in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
What fibres does Emma Baker use?
The collection includes fine merino wool, merino lambswool, organic cotton and hand spun yarns - all chosen for their softness, quality and durability. Fibre details are listed on each individual product page.
Are Emma Baker scarves good for sensitive skin?
Merino wool and merino lambswool have much finer fibres than standard wool, making them significantly softer than other yarns.
Do the scarves come gift-wrapped?
Yes. Every scarf and snood is presented in a gold embossed, tissue-lined gift box as standard - no additional wrapping needed. This makes them ideal as birthday, Christmas or occasion gifts.
How much do handwoven scarves from Emma Baker cost?
Prices range from £25 for smaller accessories to £150 for large, complex one-of-a-kind pieces. Most scarves are priced between £60 and £100. Gift cards are also available if you'd prefer to let someone choose their own piece.
