A handwoven navy, pink and turquoise wool and angora snood scarf, made by Emma Baker in Salisbury
This snood is woven by Emma Baker on a floor loom in Salisbury, Wiltshire in a navy twill striped design with pink and turquoise stripe accents. Perfect to pop on when the chill sets in for a stylish and warm look. The yarn is a blend of wool and angora - the angora comes from the Angora rabbit and is one of the warmest natural fibres available per unit weight.
Wool and angora - why the blend matters
Angora is recognised as one of the warmest natural fibres available: its hollow fibre core traps air and provides exceptional warmth for its weight. It also has a characteristic soft halo - fine fibre tips visible on the yarn surface that give an angora-blended fabric a gentle lustre and an exceptionally soft handle against the skin. The wool component provides the structural strength and body of the snood; the angora provides the warmth, the softness.
Navy, pink and turquoise stripes
The navy twill ground carries pink and turquoise stripe accents - a bold, contemporary combination that works with both classic navy wardrobe basics and more colourful outfits. The twill structure gives each stripe a diagonal texture visible in the woven surface, adding visual depth to the stripe arrangement.
