Lunan Bay Cashmere, Lunan Bay Shetland & Angus Alpaca, Scottish, Regenerative, Natural Fibre, Undyed, 100g, Dark Chocolate, New Season

Our new season batts are here!  Redcastle Batt is our incredibly soft handcarded batts produced using Cashmere fibre from our own handcombed Scottish Cashmere goats, and rooed Shetland wool from our own sheep, from our regenerative farm in Angus, Scotland, blended with fine Alpaca fibre specially selected from small scale farms in Angus. 

Named after Redcastle of Lunan Bay, the special place we call, “Home”.

Homegrown in Scotland

As nature friendly farmers, we adopted regenerative agriculture principles to produce our Cashmere that works in harmony with our goats, nature and our treasured environment. We tend to our herd of 170 Scottish Cashmere Goats along the stunning coastline of Lunan Bay, the only fibre producing Cashmere herd in the whole of Scotland and UK.

Every Spring we gently hand comb our goats’ cashmere winter undercoats, which this naturally cast at this time of year. On average, Cashmere goats only produce around 100g of super soft Cashmere fibre per year hence why Cashmere is so highly prized.

The fibre from our Cashmere goats is tested annually and our average micron size is 15uM.

Once harvested, our Scottish Cashmere is dehaired by Border Mill, an artisan micro-mill in the Scottish Borders and then blended from the finest fibres from our own Lunan Bay Shetland sheep, and Angus Alpacas. The resulted roving are hand-carded again by expert hand spinner, Fred Porchez of Wish Ewe Were Here based in Angus.
