ALL BRITISH WOOL STROME PREMIUM KILT CLOTH

ALL BRITISH WOOL STROME PREMIUM KILT CLOTH

We are proud to introduce our all-new British Wool Strome Premium Kilt Cloth, woven locally at our mill in Selkirk. The wool is sourced and spun in the UK, giving us this valuable opportunity to support British wool growers and textile manufacturers across the UK.

We have developed our British wool yarn together with our spinning partners, Spectrum Yarns Ltd. The yarn composition consists of approximately 75% Scottish wool from our native Cheviot sheep, blended with British Romney Marsh wool. The British Wool depot, based in Galashiels, sorts through and grades the fleece. The raw wool is then cleaned and spun in Yorkshire before the freshly spun yarn is delivered to us here in Selkirk. We then weave the cloth in our mill before sending the fabric for the final finishing stage. This is carried out by our trusted partners, Schofields Dyers and Finishers Ltd in Galashiels. This process is completed without compromising quality, supply, or service as we work to improve our ethical and sustainable credentials. It has been a bit of a long journey to get to this point but very worthwhile. This traditional cloth is one of our key qualities and we hope it is of interest that we have developed a fabric completely originating from and made in the UK from fleece to fabric By developing this all British Strome, we can successfully source and produce approximately 25% of our yarn from the UK which is a significant part of our business, the new route is around 400 miles compared to the 15,000 + air miles that we had previously needed to source our kilt cloth yarns from New Zealand.

We hope that you enjoy working w of our classic Strome fabri

Cheviot wool, combined with Romney Marsh wool helps the overall fineness and colour creating the correct yarn for our kilt cloth. We are already working with our first deliveries of British Wool and over the coming months, this will be converted into stocks of Strome tartan. For a time, we will be combining it with our existing yarns until this is used up and, we have systems in place to accurately record each tartan and the proportion of British wool being used, until we reach 100% British Wool throughout our stocks. Our customer service team will be able to provide you with details for cloth that you may order going forward.
