Welcome to Issue 6 of The Journal of Scottish Yarns, Fall / Winter 2024!

Contents:

  • CARDINALS, CASHMERE & CAMELS The rarity of cashmere makes it so special and more besides.

  • CAPRICIOUS CASHMERE The Scottish Cashmere Producers Association was decades ahead of its time.

  • SECURING CHAINS OF INNOVATION AND TRADITION: Established in the 18th century, Johnstons of Elgin survived when so many other mills failed.  

  • INCLUSIVE, INTERNATIONAL, VERSATILE … KILTS: ACME Atelier, contemporary kilt-maker in Moray, combines traditional craft skills with printmaking and a global twist.

  • THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS: At Annfield Angora in the Kingdom of Fife Laury-Anne and Andrew share a love of mohair goats that yield beautiful yarn.

  • GOAT MOUNTAIN ON THE ANGUS SHORES: At Lunan Bay Farm the McEwans are producing the first Scottish-grown Cashmere in more than 30 years.

  • ON OTHER SHORES AND BACK HOME AGAIN: Gudrun Johnston designs bridge the past and the future, inspired by her mother, the original Shetland Trader.
