Welcome to the
World of Johnstons of Elgin
We have worked with the world's finest natural, biodegradable fibres for more than 226 years. It takes time to create our luxurious, high-quality designs, and our products are made to last for more than a lifetime. We are committed to continually improving our sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint.
Over two centuries of experience have taught us to be gentle with our exquisite Cashmere and Merino Wool fibres. Our Elgin and Hawick mills are still family-owned, with Elgin one of the last remaining vertical mills in Scotland, meaning we dye, spin, weave and finish everything on site. We marry delicate care and our soft Scottish water with innovative technology, outstanding design and unrivalled craftsmanship, to deliver products we are incredibly proud of – all Made in Scotland.

Made with Love - Baby's 1st Cashmere
We lavish everything we make with love and a gentle touch - no matter how small. Our dedicated team of three talented artisans apply this principle in our 'mill within the mill' - the Hand Knit department at our Elgin site. We design, knit, finish and hand label each piece in one location, and there's heart in every stitch.
