This handwoven merino wool triangle neckerchief is woven by Emma Baker on a traditional floor loom in Salisbury, Wiltshire, using fine merino lambswool in navy, blue, green and pink. The combination is vivid and versatile - the navy and blue provide a grounding structure, while the green and pink threads bring warmth and energy to the design.
 
It is a scarf that works across a wide range of outfits. Against a navy jumper, the green and pink come forward and lift the palette. Against an emerald green top, the pink and navy threads complement without clashing. Against neutrals - grey, white or camel - the full colourway sits together as a considered, cohesive accent.
 
The Two Versions
The two versions vary with respect to the placement of the colours.  They are both a reverse twill design fabric.
 
How to Wear It
A triangle neckerchief can be worn several ways. Fold it in half along the longest edge to form a strip and wrap it around the neck, knotting or tucking the ends. Wear it as a true triangle by draping the point down the front and knotting the ends loosely at the back of the neck. Fold it into a slim strip and tie it at the side for a classic neckerchief look. Or loop it through the handle of a bag for a pop of colour. Its compact size means it fits into a handbag and is quick to put on.
 
Dimensions
Longest edge 122cm.  All side edges are oversewn for a clean, durable finish.
 
A Postable Gift
This is a well-priced and distinctive gift. Because of its compact size it can be sent as a large letter, keeping postage costs low. If you would prefer it presented in a gift box, please contact Emma before purchasing and she will arrange this for a small additional fee.
 
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you wear a triangle neckerchief?
The most versatile way is to fold it in half along the longest edge, wrap it around the neck, and knot or tuck the ends. For a classic neckerchief look, drape it as a full triangle with the point down the front and the ends tied loosely at the back of the neck. You can also fold it into a narrow strip and tie it at the side, tuck it under a collar, or attach it to a bag handle.
 
What colours does green and pink go with?
The navy, blue, green and pink combination in this scarf is particularly versatile. It looks great against navy knitwear, where the green and pink stand out. Against emerald or bottle green it creates a tonal layered effect. Against grey, white or camel it reads as a colourful accent. It is a scarf that works with both warm and cool base colours.
 
Is merino wool itchy?
No. Fine merino lambswool has a much smaller fibre diameter than standard wool, so the fibres bend against the skin rather than prickling it. Most people who find ordinary wool uncomfortable have no problem wearing fine merino directly against the neck.
 
How do I care for a merino wool neckerchief?
Sponge wash small stains. For a full wash, handwash very gently in warm water with minimal agitation using a wool-safe detergent. Rinse once, press gently in a towel to remove excess water, and dry naturally before pressing lightly. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
 
Is this scarf made in the UK?
Yes. The scarf is designed and handwoven by Emma Baker in her studio in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.
 
Do you ship internationally?
