A womens snood is a perennial go-to for neck and shoulder warmth. Neater and more versatile than a scarf, they are easy to pop on over any outfit. They are ideal for keeping those winter draughts and chills away. We love how they can come up over your ears and nose when frost hits!
Our isle20 artisans use natural, locally sourced yarns to produce a lovely range of neck and shoulder wear. No matter the wind speed, a snood keeps you looking and feeling gorgeous through winter days and chilly evenings.
Island communities remain alive with the culture and heritage of their forebears. This heritage shines through in such artisanal traditions as knitting and weaving. Many islands have their own unique designs (such as Fair Isle knitwear). These designs often date back to fishermen’s jumpers or hats.
Take a look on isle20 and choose from our excellent range of locally made Scottish island knitwear. Plenty of women’s snoods to be found here, in amongst a wealth of cowls, neck warmers, buffs, wraps, stoles, scarves and shawls.
Be cosy and cossetted in soft, comfortable style with a piece of locally made Scottish island knitwear – it’s the perfect choice.
