Driven by a quest for true excellence, James sourced yarns from China, Mongolia, Afghanistan, India, Peru, and Australia alongside our native Scottish wools.
In 1851, we bought a bale of Cashmere fibre from F. Buxton of Basinghall Street, London and became the first Scottish company to weave with this precious yarn. More than 170 years later, this remains one of our most popular luxury fibres.
