Our knitwear is created using 100% Scottish Blackface wool, the finest grade, sourced from local hill farms. The majestic 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, giving 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 creating each piece promises years and decades of wear. Beautiful and robust- made to last beyond a lifetime.
Our processes are small scale, low impact, and as local as they can be. The profits from 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 which is the home of Merrick – Scottish Blackface Knitwear. Discover more
