Choose a weave based on your dog and desired expression
When you choose a paracord collar, you're not just choosing a color. You're also choosing how the collar will sit, look, and feel.
A narrower weave can be suitable for smaller dogs, dogs with shorter necks, or if you want a lighter look. A wider weave can be suitable for larger dogs, dogs with more fur, or if you want a collar that is more noticeable.
Our weaves have different expressions, from simple and calm to wide and more decorative.

What are paracord collars?
A paracord collar is a dog collar woven from paracord. Paracord is a type of cord often used because it is flexible, durable, and well-suited for braided products.
At Snøglimt, we use paracord to create collars with structure, color, and personality. The braiding gives the collar more depth than a completely flat strap, and allows for combining multiple colors in a natural way.
Paracord collars are well-suited for those who want a handcrafted dog collar that stands out, but is still made for practical everyday use.
Why choose a paracord collar for your dog?
A paracord collar can be a good choice if you want a collar that combines function and expression.
The braiding gives the collar structure and form, while the color combinations make it possible to find an expression that suits your dog. Some want calm natural colors, others want more contrast, and some want a collar that matches a leash, bandana, or other accessories.
A paracord collar from Snøglimt is handmade, one by one. This means that small variations in weave, color placement, and details may occur. For us, it's part of the charm of handcrafted dog equipment.
How to choose the right paracord collar?
The best paracord collar is one that suits the dog, its neck size, fur, and intended use.
Before you choose, it's a good idea to consider three things: weave, collection, and size.
Choose a weave based on width and expression
The type of weave largely determines how the collar looks. A narrower weave gives a lighter expression, while a wider weave provides more visibility and a more prominent collar.
If your dog has a short neck, small body, or little fur, a lighter collar may be a good choice. If your dog has more fur, a larger body, or suits a bolder look, a wider weave can work well.
Choose a collection based on colors and style
Once you've found a weave you like, you can choose a color expression. At Snøglimt, we use collections to group colors and moods.
A collection is about the colors and feel of the product. The weave is about the form and structure. Therefore, the same collection can have quite different expressions depending on which weave you choose.
Choose the size based on your dog's neck
A collar should fit well without being too tight. Measure your dog's neck where the collar would normally sit, and check the size guide before ordering.
As a general rule, you should be able to fit approximately two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck. The collar should not press against the neck, but also not be so loose that the dog can easily back out of it.
Collections
Our collections are about the colors, mood, and expression of the products.
Where the weave type determines the form, the collection determines the feel. Some collections are warm and high-contrast, some are calm and earthy, and some have more color play and depth.
