What is a snood?

[L Verge]

I had never heard of Gutnish nor Gotland until I went in search of the history of snoods. Still looking for the magical word for a bun cover...

I can't find that word again, so we'll just continue to call the small snoods "bun covers."

Gene - I did find this to further explain the new use of the word "snood:"

“The word has also come to be applied to a tubular neck protector or warmer, often worn by skiers or motorcyclists. The garment can be worn either pulled down around the neck like a scarf, or pulled up over the hair and lower face, like a hood. A commercial company making women's clothing also uses the word as a trademark and sells a decorative variant of the sports snood as its signature product.

"Retailers today are apparently trying to give the snood a new name (have to admit, it’s a fun word to say)---they want to call it the 'infinity scarf, or infinity loop'---not so fun, IMO."
