Hello, I'm Robyn, owner and creator of Hoodscarf. I've been interested in sewing and making since I was a kid. I still use the pin cushion she helped me make, one of my first projects. I studied Fashion Design at University, and had the privilege of working at one of the last remaining textile manufacturers in New Zealand. While there I soaked up as much knowledge as I could, in particular around
merino. For me merino is the best because it's super warm, while being light weight. I feel the cold, and layer up merino during the Winter months (and some of Autumn, and Spring to be honest). You will find a merino scarf all but surgically attached to my neck for a good portion of the year. I've been making my own loop (infinity) scarves for yonks, and one day started playing around with adding a hood. I made several mock ups, adjusting the pattern as I went, until I was happy with the result. And so Hoodscarf was created. I love colour, and print, and anything quirky makes me smile. When I'm not sewing I'm busy being a Mum of two boys, a supportive partner, and working on growing our fruit and vegetable garden. We live in a beautiful part of New Zealand, close to sea and bush, which we visit often.
