Handmade  Wool & Mohair Clothing

Goatherdess began, 14 years ago, with a small flock of rare breed sheep, three much-loved Angora goats and a simple idea — to reconnect clothing with the land it comes from. Based in the Scottish Highlands, we design and make handmade wool and mohair garments directly on the farm, using traditional techniques and natural fibres. Every piece tells a story of slow fashion, careful husbandry and a deep respect for animals, landscape and craftsmanship.

Welcome to the Goatherdess Dressing Room — our tranquil on-farm studio where rare-breed fleece is turned slowly into lasting clothes, by hand and by season. Each piece is made to order from the small, finite mohair of our angora goats and wool of our Ouessant and Castlemilk sheep, gathered with care each year and used with thought. From fleece to fibre to finished garment, every stage happens by hand in our Dressing Room, where making and design stay close to the animals and the land that give them life.

Because we work only with what our flocks naturally provide, quantities are limited and our Order Book opens only when the wool allows. Our shapes take their cues from timeless British silhouettes — quiet, honest lines where gentle form meets enduring ease, a nod to the domestic warmth of Austen and the wind-swept grace of the Brontës. Garments follow the Parlour to Glen idea: a considered wardrobe that moves easily from hearth-side comfort to Highland light, shaped by seasons, weather and the slow rhythms of country life.

We also explore mohair beyond knitwear, transforming it into a soft, fur-effect textile for outerwear — a natural, plant-dyed alternative to synthetics. The Order Book is currently closed as we ready the Dressing Room. Sign up to The Dressing Room newsletter For early glimpses and to be first to know when orders open.
