LAHEMAA scarf is named after Lahemaa National Park in northern Estonia — the «land of bays» (lahe — bay, maa — land), the place of deep forests, mossy stones and quick, curious squirrels darting among the pines. Knitted with Estonian wool, this scarf carries the quiet charm of the northern woods — soft, rustic and full of life. The scarf is worked as a long tube in the round.
