Red, Camel, Black and Grey Check Wool Scarf

Bold blocks of red lead our iconic check, with camel, black and grey close behind and fine pale lines running through the grid. It’s a scarf with presence, lively enough to be the first thing people notice and balanced enough to go with almost anything. Edinburgh Cashmere is a Scottish heritage brand, and this one shows the traditional pattern at its most generous.

The scarf is handcrafted in extra-fine pure lambswool at a Scottish mill that has been weaving for over 250 years. In the iconic check, the red takes the broad stripes while camel brightens the squares, black gives depth and grey sits quietly in between, each colour kept sharp by the others. Wear it with a plain black jumper and dark jeans, over a sand-coloured linen shirt with the sleeves rolled, or with a navy sweatshirt for a casual day out. The fringe is striped in red and camel, a small detail that finishes each end neatly.

It takes 29 steps to make, ending with a hand-brushing with teasels that leaves the wool soft and gently raised. Bright, characterful and built to last, it’s a scarf you’ll reach for again and again.
