Camelhair

Sustainable Luxury: Camelhair Knitwear Handcrafted in Scotland

Discover the unparalleled warmth and softness of our camelhair knitwear, a sustainable and luxurious alternative to traditional wool. At Westaway & Westaway, our camelhair garments are not only crafted from one of the most eco-friendly fibres but are also expertly knitted in Scotland, ensuring exceptional quality and timeless style.

Why Camelhair is a Sustainable Choice

Camelhair is a natural, renewable fibre harvested from the soft undercoat of Bactrian camels. These camels naturally shed their coats during moulting season, meaning no harm is caused during the collection of their hair. This process is far more ethical than many traditional textile methods and aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainable fashion.

• Eco-Friendly Production: Camelhair requires minimal processing, reducing the carbon footprint of production. As a biodegradable fibre, it leaves a minimal environmental impact at the end of its life cycle.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Known for its strength and resilience, camelhair knitwear is not only luxurious but designed to last, fitting perfectly within the principles of slow fashion.

Crafted in Scotland: Tradition Meets Sustainability

All our camelhair knitwear is knitted in Scotland, home to some of the world’s finest artisans in wool and cashmere production. By partnering with skilled Scottish knitters, we ensure that every piece reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and sustainability.

• Heritage Craftsmanship: Each garment is fully fashioned in Scotland, meaning it is shaped on the knitting machine and then linked by hand, ensuring superior fit and longevity.
• Ethical and Local: Our close partnerships with Scottish mills allow us to support local economies while maintaining full control over our supply chain, ensuring that every item is produced with the highest ethical standards.

Benefits of Camelhair Knitwear

• Unrivalled Softness: Camelhair is often compared to cashmere in terms of softness, offering a luxurious feel against the skin.
• Natural Insulation: The natural properties of camelhair make it incredibly warm, yet lightweight, providing comfort in cold weather without the bulk.
• Moisture-Wicking: Camelhair has excellent breathability, making it perfect for both winter layering and transitional seasons.
