Explore our collection of handmade Viking and Slavic scarves, plant-dyed and sewn from natural wool — a versatile accessory for historical costumes.

Did Vikings wear scarves?

Yes. Thin wool and linen wraps were used in Viking Age and early medieval Slavic cultures as head coverings, neck wraps and face protection. Scarves and veils appear in both grave finds and pictorial sources from Scandinavia and eastern Europe, often dyed in natural plant-based colours.

What are Viking scarves made from?

Our scarves are made from natural wool, plant-dyed in historically authentic shades including madder red, orange, dark yellow and light yellow — all colours achievable with period-accurate dye plants such as madder and weld. Each scarf is hand-sewn with finished edges.

How do you wear a Viking scarf?

A Viking scarf can be worn tied around the forehead as a headband, wrapped around the neck for warmth, or draped over the head as a light veil. It is a versatile accessory that complements tunics, dresses and hoods from our collection.

Are these scarves suitable for LARP and reenactment?

Yes. Our plant-dyed wool scarves are a popular accessory at historical festivals and LARP events. Lightweight, colourful and historically accurate — all items are in stock and ready to ship worldwide.
