These are the lambswool pieces we make for the winter months, handwoven in multi-ply knits from long-staple fibres of 55 to 80 millimetres and 17 to 21 microns, in a 250-year-old heritage mill.
Wound twice at the neck, a lambswool scarf shields the nose, the ears and the mouth from a strong gust and stays where it is put. The extra ply is what makes that possible: a denser cloth turns wind rather than only insulating against it, and lambswool carries the weight without becoming stiff at the fold.
Long staple is what keeps a winter scarf worth owning past its first season. A longer fibre holds the yarn together under daily use, and the natural crimp lets the cloth recover its shape overnight after a day of being knotted, packed and pulled back on.
Layer one beneath a fur coat and let the collar close over it for the warmest version, or tie it in a Parisian knot at the throat — folded in half, the ends drawn through the loop and pulled snug — which sits flat under a coat and can be loosened the moment you are indoors.
