Borges & Scott Irish Lambswool Scarf

The "Kilkenny" scarf from Borges & Scott is a premium, soft Irish lambswool accessory crafted from some of the world's finest wool. Unlike many "Irish" wool scarves that use imported wool, this scarf is made from 100% wool sourced from a single Irish Galway sheep flock. The wool is taken only from the lambs' first shearing, then spun and woven into this classic scarf at one of Ireland's historic mills.

With its generous dimensions of 205cm (6 feet 9 inches) in length and 27cm (11 inches) in width, this scarf can be comfortably wrapped around the neck once or twice, depending on personal preference. The sustainable 100% wool construction has proven its resilience against the harshest Atlantic coastal conditions of Ireland over centuries, ensuring the scarf will keep you warm and stylish while maintaining the natural breathable properties of wool.

Compared to regular wool, the soft lambswool used in this scarf is much less "scratchy," providing a smooth and comfortable wearing experience. The scarf pairs beautifully with a stylish Borges & Scott flat cap, available in a range of matching Irish or Harris tweed options.

Delivered in a high-quality, recyclable gift box, the Kilkenny scarf makes the perfect gift for anyone with Irish heritage or a love for the Emerald Isle. It is an exceptional addition to Borges & Scott's luxury tweed cap collection, all of which are crafted from premium Scottish Harris or Irish tweed.

Notably, this scarf is one of the few 100% Irish wool products on the market, as the decline of the Irish wool industry has led to the majority of woolen goods made in Ireland now using imported wool. Borges & Scott has carefully sourced this scarf's wool from one of the last remaining Irish sheep flocks suitable for clothing production, with the wool fully traceable to this flock. The wool is harvested only from the lambs' first shearing at 6-8 months of age and then spun, dyed, and woven into the scarf at one of Ireland's few surviving traditional wool mills.
