The Scottish Fibreshed

The Scottish Fibreshed is a cooperative initiative that promotes sustainable, local fiber production in Scotland. It connects farmers, fiber producers, and artisans to grow, harvest, and process raw materials like wool and flax within the region. By focusing on local supply chains, it aims to reduce environmental impact, support rural economies, and preserve traditional craft skills. This approach emphasizes transparency, ethical practices, and fostering a community dedicated to eco-friendly textile production, helping to create garments that are both high-quality and sustainably sourced from Scottish landscapes.
