Lady MacSnood-Maker of Fine Hand made Snoods for the Reenactor & discerning Lady/Why a Lady MacSnood snood is a better buy.

Lady MacSnood has been making and selling her fine hand crocheted snoods for over six years at SCA events and Renaissance Fairs in the United State as well as her website which has now been operational for over 5 years. She takes pride in her work and backs every snood made with a satisfaction guaranteed warranty. Her snoods are made by hand, constructed of the finest quality crochet cotton and metallic thread. The last row has elastic cord woven into it which helps it stay in place without the need for using hair pins. Ribbon can be used instead of the elastic cord for those who want a more historically authentic snood. Most people prefer the freedom of the elastic cord though since it's hardly noticeable once the snood is in place. They hold up well and keep their shape even after washing. The machine crocheted imported snoods are cheaper than a MacSnood Snood, but the nylon construction tends to grab strands of hair and pull them out of place, making them less comfortable and convenient to wear. Also, they just don’t last as long as a hand-crocheted MacSnood snood and tend to loose their shape rather quickly upon wearing them. A MacSnood Snood will keep it's shape well. My original snoods which are over 6 years old now still look great and have held their original shape despite repeated washings. The elastic cord will eventually loose it's elasticity but unlike the nylon machine made snoods it is a simple matter to replace the elastic in my snoods, (my children have been doing it for years for me). You'll find it at any fabric notions store for under $2.00 for 5 yards which will do several snoods.

Don't overlook the custom-made benefit of buying a MacSnood snood. Special orders are welcome. Snoods come in a variety of colors and color combinations. If your trying to match a certain outfit cloth swatches may be sent with your order and every effort will be made to match your snood with your gown. Some ladies prefer that their snoods match trim or jewelry. Snoods can be done in more than one color as well. Variegated Thread can also be used that have multiple colors on one spool making for an interesting effect. Fancy snoods are those with a more intricate pattern. Metallic Combo snoods are made from cotton crochet thread that has metallic thread wrapped around the cotton thread similar to the way the red stripes wrap around a candy cane. We also offer snoods made from 3-ply all metallic thread as well. For those ladies with longer and/or thicker hair we also offer snoods in longer lengths than our standard snood.

If you just need a little decorative flourish for your hair, you can also order a bun-size snood, which is made to cover a bun. They also help keep those "fly-away strands" tucked in more neatly. The bun cover snoods will need a few hair pins or a hair stick to stay in place. Hair Sticks are also available in a variety of bead color choices and stick styles.

Snoods can make a beautiful and unique way to style the hair for wedding parties. I can custom make snoods for the bride and her attendants. The gold or silver metallic make beautiful bridal snoods and the attendants can have snoods made to match their gowns. Bridal party snoods need to be ordered at least a month ahead of the actual date depending on the number of snoods needed. Contact me at here to special order your wedding snoods.
