Design & Manufacturing Services
Customer Own Design
Our bespoke design and manufacturing service supports brands in the development and production of unique knitted accessories for their customers. From an initial concept through to the finished product, our experienced Design and Technical teams work closely with you at every stage, helping turn your ideas into reality while making the process as straightforward and efficient as possible.
Sustainability is key and we are focused on reducing our impact on the environment. We only work with natural yarns, a sustainable & renewable product, and continual innovations in our manufacturing process are helping us take steps towards achieving zero waste during production.
With machines including warp knitting machines, glove machines and Vee Bed knitting machines we can offer gauges from 1.5 to 14 and can produce products in jacquard, stitch interest, plain and combinations of these. We also have the capability to offer both shaped or seamless hats, scarves and gloves finished entirely on the machine.
We’re proud to be a Woolmark licensee and an affiliate of UK Fashion & Textile Association and Textiles Scotland. We are members of SEDEX with a SMETA audit, and we comply with the Ethical Trade Institute base code.

Yarns & Processes
Proud to work only in natural yarns, we source as sustainably as possible from the finest grade raw materials, wet finished with care for the softest feel. Our core yarn is 2/17s 100% lambswool, supplied by Z Hinchliffe, dyed and spun in the UK since 1766, and we stock the full 120 colours on their shade card.
We also work with spinners such as Knoll, Lanecardte, Todd & Duncan, Papi Fabio, Schoeller, Sesia, Shepley & Zegna Baruffa in wools such as Donegal, Geelong, Merino, Supersoft, Shetland, Cashmere and Cashmere blends.
With everything produced completely in-house right from design concept to machine knitting, wet finishing, brushing & textile assembly, our products are truly 100% made in Scotland.
