Collection: Fair Isle Headbands and Snoods

Sumptuously soft Fair Isle headbands and cowls designed and knitted on the Isle of Shetland in the far north of Scotland using traditional Shetland designs.  Soft like cashmere, this collection is knitted with the finest merino wool making them silky smooth next to the skin. A special reversible Fair Isle knitting technique creates perfect selvedges.

Bakka is a remote coastal croft situated in a truly spectacular location on Shetland and the BAKKA label was created by Mary, the sole designer of BAKKA scarves.  After extensive research in the archives of the National Museum of Scotland and the Shetland Textile Museum, Mary realised that the old patterns and methods were in danger of dying out, so she decided to use them exclusively as the source of inspiration for her work.
