This women's baktus-snood is knitted of 100% Leonberger underfur with addition of goat underfur. The underfur is spinned with sewing reinforced thread and rubbered into 2 threads.
Baktus-snood is a modern and stylish accessory for cold season. It accomplishes two functions: collar and scarf. That means baktus guards the neck as well as the breast from wind. Baktus-snood is knitted in such a way that it can be folded inward by collar (it will be double). As a result, the work keeps warmth and fit better. This model is for women, of course, but variants for men are also possible. Neck is a place with high sensitivity, that is why for this work soft Leonberger underfur is
selected.
Leonberger is a very rare dog breed, and its underfur is considered to be exclusive in its qualities. The underfur of this dog can be equal to silk by its softness. This is ideal material for baktuses, snoods, dickeys, scarves, i.e. for those works which need softness.
The main cloth is knitted by garter stitch. This is ideal for such item as it allows baktus-snood to drape itself on the neck and to sit perfectly on the shoulders. 'Tail' pattern sideways adorns the accessory harmonically. Garter stitch resembles a ribbing so the work will fit for any neck size.
The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
