The Scottish Wool Mark 💙
We were recently invited to the depot in Selkirk, alongside , to launch the new Scottish Wool mark.
Since 1972, wool grown in Britain has been identified by the Shepherds Crook symbol, and now it's time to get even more specific and identify the Scottish sheep too.
As a small knitwear manufacturer, we work with crofters and farmers, turning their wool stock into beautiful, natural products. The Scottish wool logo can be used by affilliates to authenticate products, which helps to tell the story of the garment.
At the British Wool depot, farmers bring their wool to be graded and sorted into breed type and origin. Then it is spun into yarn, before arriving with us to be knitted. This keeps all stages of product development & manufacturing within the UK, helping to support the local economy.
Wool prices are at a 10 year high right now, which is great news for the farmers and the wool industry. As more people take an intetest in how their clothes are made, and decide to choose wool, we will continue to see this natural, sustainable resource thrive again 🙌🐑
