Hand-knitted rather than machine-made, in a soft acrylic and wool blend. It is the kind of thing people buy as a gift and then find their pet actually wears, because it is genuinely warm and there is nothing stiff or scratchy about it.
The yarn is 75% acrylic and 25% wool. That blend is deliberate: the wool brings warmth and a bit of natural give, while the acrylic keeps it soft, hard-wearing and much easier to wash than pure wool would be.
It fastens with a loop. You feed the tail end through and pull it to whatever tension sits comfortably, so there is no buckle, no velcro to catch fur, and no fixed setting that is almost right but not quite. That also means it loosens easily if your pet decides they have had enough of it.
A custom tag can be embroidered with your pet’s name, which is the detail that makes it work as a gift rather than just an accessory.
The details
Knitted by hand. Each one is made individually, so expect the small variations that come with handmade work rather than factory uniformity.
Soft wool-blend yarn. 75% acrylic and 25% wool: warm enough to matter in winter, soft enough that pets do not fuss at it.
Loop-through fastening. Feed the end through the loop and adjust. No buckles, no fur-snagging velcro, and it comes off in a second.
Personalised name tag. The custom tag can be embroidered with your pet’s name, which is what turns it into a proper gift.
Sizing by neck measurement
| XS |
6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) neck |
| S |
10 to 12 inches (24 to 30 cm) neck |
| M |
13 to 15 inches (31 to 38 cm) neck |
Measure around the base of the neck where a collar sits, then add a little room. If your pet falls between two sizes, take the larger one, since the loop fastening lets you tighten it but not extend it.
Wearing it safely: anything worn around the neck should be supervised. Keep it loose enough to slide two fingers underneath, take it off before your pet is left alone or goes into a crate, and remove it if they start chewing at the yarn. Wash gently by hand and dry flat, since a wool blend will felt and shrink in a hot machine wash.
