How should a merino wool snood be washed?
Air women's merino wool snoods between wears and wash only when needed. Follow the care label, use a dedicated wool detergent and choose careful hand washing or a gentle wool cycle in cool or lukewarm water. Avoid bleach, high spin speeds and direct heat; reshape and dry flat.

What is the difference between a merino snood and a merino shawl?
A snood is a closed tube that is pulled over the head and stays securely around the neck. A shawl or neckerchief is open and can be tied or draped in several ways, including around the neck, head or shoulders. The best choice depends on whether you prioritise speed and security or styling flexibility.
