Why Scottish Mill Cashmere Feels Different
Johnstons of Elgin has handled cashmere since 1851, when it became the first Scottish company to weave the fibre. Its scarves, stoles and wraps are woven at the mill on the River Lossie in Elgin, and its beanies, gloves and socks are knitted at the second mill in Hawick. The house says as many as 33 people are involved in creating a single scarf, so each piece passes through many hands before it leaves Scotland.
About Johnstons of Elgin

The house has woven estate tweeds since the 1840s, and its accessories run from woven cashmere scarves, stoles and tartans to knitted beanies, gloves and socks.
