Yarn Issue 6 - Autumn / Winter 2024 [print & digital]

£24.00

Welcome to Issue 6 of The Journal of Scottish Yarns. In this issue we look at the question: Why is Scotland famous for cashmere? And more!

Contents:

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

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

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

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

  5. 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.

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

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

  8. DREAM WEAVERS: THE RISE AND FALL OF PORTEOUS MILL: Alison Mayne pieces together a salutary tale of business and family.
