This is the most compact triangle neckerchief in Emma Baker’s collection - 96cm along the longest edge and just 30cm to the point, woven in fine merino lambswool in a pink and grey striped design. Where the larger triangle scarves in the range are generous enough to wrap and drape, this one is built for lightness. It sits close to the neck, adds a discreet wash of colour, and disappears into a bag when not in use.
 
Despite its fine weight, the merino lambswool gives it a warmth that belies how little it weighs. It is the scarf to reach for when a full-length wrap would be too much - indoors, in transition between seasons, or whenever a touch of colour and softness is enough.
 
The Weave
Woven with plain weave to produce a balanced, smooth surface. 
 
The Two Versions
Two versions are available, both cut from the same handwoven cloth and finished with oversewn edges. They vary in the placement of the pink and grey stripes across the triangle shape.
 
How to Style It
Pink and grey is a soft, versatile combination that pairs well with both neutral and pastel outfits. It sits beautifully against pink, blush, cream, grey and white knitwear. The styling image on this page shows it worn with a pink jacket - the tonal layering is subtle and considered. It also works well against charcoal or mid-grey as a gentle contrast.
 
Dimensions
Longest edge 96cm, depth from centre to point 30cm. All side edges are oversewn for a clean finish. This is the most compact triangle scarf in the range - lightweight, low-bulk, and easy to wear indoors as well as out.
 
A Postable Gift
This is an accessible and considered gift. Its compact size means 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?
Fold it in half along the longest edge to form a strip and wrap it around the neck, knotting or tucking the ends. Or wear it as a true triangle by draping the point down the front and knotting the ends at the back of the neck. It can also be folded into a narrow strip and tied at the side of the neck, tucked under a collar, or looped through a bag handle.
 
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?
Yes. Emma Baker Handwoven Textiles ships to the UK, Canada, and the USA.
