cowl or snood scarf

Cowl or Snood? What do you call it?

Snood, cowl, neckwarmer, infinity scarf, tube scarf. This accessory is known by so many names. The most common seems to be cowl or snood. Whatever you may call them, they are a fun and yet practical way to layer up in cold weather.

What is a Snood?

By our definition, a snood is a continuous tubular scarf that is pulled over the head and sits on the neck and shoulders to keep you warm. It is stretchy so it is worn very easily and can sit above your coat or under it. Some can be pulled up a little way over the mouth and nose.

Wool Snood

Our signature snoods are hand knitted out of soft luxurious wool. The Urbanknit cowl or snood is typically made in a lovely chunky knit, giving it a nice textured look.

They are available in many bright and bold colours as well as some dark and neutral colours. So you will always find something that suits your style. We also have some striped versions for the more adventurous dresser. Each and every one is hand knitted, so made by human hands!

 

The snood makes a great alternative to a long scarf, which could get in the way or fall off altogether. For example, it is great if you cycle as it is completely hands-free.

As we say goodbye to the summer and welcome cooler weather, we have introduced limited edition Alpaca versions for an even more luxurious feel.
