Hoods In The Sagas –
In Fljótsdæla saga ( a region in Iceland ) from the late viking age , Sveinungr Demanded a young boy at his farm to head out and gather in the sheep. The boy insisted on bringing his hood and gloves before leaving, but Sveinungr shamed him into leaving immediately. Sveinungr wanted the boy to be spotted and mistaken for Gunnarr, a man who was being pursued and who had been taken into Sveinung's protection.

LOVE THIS HOOD! It is summer and the material is heavy. So, I am looking forward to wearing this during the fall and winter months.
Got to me super fast. Quality of product is fantastic, I really like the fabric that was used.
I love this item so much! It was shipped and arrived very quickly from the date of purchase! I ordered a Large as I wanted the hood to cover most of my torso and it does. [I am 5'9" and an average sized woman]. It's absolutely perfect. The wool is soft and cozy and smells nice. The item was wrapped in paper and tied with twine and looked so pretty I almost didn't want to open it. Plus, Nornewoven sent a nice note along as well. The whole package brought such happiness to me. Thank you so much!
Gorgeous hood. Always great customer service here and products are always more beautiful in person, can never go wrong with this shop. Thanks again.
Beautiful and spacious, well crafted, I have bought several of these hoods. They saved me from sunburn at festivals.
