Merrick specialises in luxury knitted outerwear

Our knitwear is created using 100% Scottish Blackface wool, the finest grade, sourced from local hill farms. The majestic Scottish Blackface ram, a symbol of strength and endurance, is at the heart of our brand. We draw inspiration from these resilient sheep, crafting knitwear that embraces challenge with warmth and protection.

An iconic breed of our high ground, the Scottish Blackface sheep has endured the wilds of land and weather since beyond the reach of memory. Bold and resilient, their lives are spent out on the hills. A thick fleece keeps them safe from the elements; dry in rain and snow, comfortably cool in summer’s heat.

The story of Scottish Blackface sheep is our story too. The quality of our unique yarn in each piece promises years and decades of wear. Beautiful and robust- made to last beyond a lifetime.

Merrick Scottish Blackface Knitwear is a social enterprise led by tradition, design, and a commitment to sustainability.

Our processes are small scale, low impact, and as local as they can be. All profits from the knitwear you purchase are reinvested in projects that benefit nature and community.

Our name originates from south Scotland’s highest peak, which sits at the heart of the country’s first UNESCO Biosphere. This the home of Merrick Scottish Blackface Knitwear, and where our story began. Discover more.
