About Lambswool

Lambswool can be sourced from any breed of sheep, but as the name suggests, it must be harvested before the sheep reach maturity, and shearing typically happens seven months after their early spring birth, at the height of summer. As the fleece gains thickness and coarseness with age, lambswool is finer and softer than sheep's wool. It also has a pronounced springy curl, helping it resist shrinkage and retain its shape. This breathable, hypoallergenic fibre is perfect for luxurious knitwear garments.

About Cashmere

Sourced from the downy undercoat of Mongolian goats, soft, fine cashmere has been treasured and sought after for clothing since before the advent of written record. In the 19th and early 20th century, Scotland's abundant woollen mills became highly skilled in producing knitwear from this luxurious yarn, making it a global centre for cashmere garments.
