Lady MacSnood has been making and selling her fine hand crocheted snoods for over three years. Her snoods are made completely from scratch. Only the finest quality crochet cotton and metallic thread are ever used. The last row of the snood normally has elastic cord woven into it which helps it stay in place without the need for using hair pins. The elastic cord is barely visible yet offers freedom from pins to hold the snood in place.
Historical purists can request ribbon in place of the elastic.
High On The Hair Friendliness Scale Lady MacSnood who sports beautiful waist length hair, completely understands the need to pamper beautiful long hair with comfort and hair friendliness. While it is possible to buy less expensive imported machine crocheted snoods, the nylon construction has a tendency to grab and pull strands of snood encased hair. Not only does this phenomena make the snoods less comfortable, there is the possibility that precious long hairs can be endangered in the process. The hand-crocheted MacSnood creations are very comfortable and hair friendly. They also tend to hold up after prolonged use holding their shape nicely after repeated washings.
