SS - Cashmere Socks in Red

Handcrafted in Scotland

Knitted in Scotland at a mill that has been sourcing the highest quality raw fibres from around the world to make yarn for the finest woollens and knits for centuries. Not only has ownership been passed down from one generation to another in this business, but the craftsmen employed have passed their skills down as well. All processes are completed in-house, which ensures lasting quality in each and every stitch.

##We create the softest cashmere products by acquiring the rare, finest grade (Grade A) fibres from the underbellies of Mongolian goats. Due to the dramatic fluctuation in temperatures on the vast plains of Mongolia, Hircus goats have developed a beautiful, downy under-fleece. Cashmere acquired from Hircus goats is fine in texture, strong, light and soft. It provides excellent insulation and simply lasts longer without shedding or piling, due to the longer strands of hair Hircus goats develop on the hardy Mongolian plains.

##Nowadays, it’s not hard to get your hands on a cashmere jumper on the high street. But there’s a reason for that enticingly low price tag. Low grade, mass produced cashmere makes for a disappointing product that sheds and piles easily. It’s got nothing on the real high-quality stuff, manufactured through traditional processes and sourced from communities that have passed down collection methods for generations.
