Traditional craftsmanship since 1874
William Lockie is one of the oldest family-owned businesses in the Scottish knitwear industry, with roots tracing back to 1874 in Hawick, the home of knitwear. For generations, they have combined traditional craftsmanship with timeless designs. Each garment is knitted on old frames, ensuring a refined and comfortable fit, with every detail finished with care. In an era of fast fashion, Lockie remains true to craft and quality.
The finest natural yarns
What truly makes William Lockie special is the choice of the world's finest natural yarns. Think of luxurious cashmere from Mongolia, soft geelong lamb's wool from Australia, and blends of yak, camel, or merino wool. Only the longest and strongest fibers are selected, which ensures softness, warmth, breathability, and a beautiful structure that drapes elegantly.
Sustainable and no pills!
Thanks to the exceptional quality of the yarn and the sophisticated knitting method, William Lockie sweaters do not pill – even after prolonged wear. The yarns are naturally strong and hard-wearing, and the fine knit structure prevents friction and pilling. This makes a Lockie sweater not only a luxury purchase but also a conscious investment in a garment that will remain beautiful for years to come.
