The Penrith Heritage Tweed Scarf — Soil-to-Skin British Luxury
$221.00
| /
An exceptionally soft, plant-dyed, hyper-local British tweed scarf crafted from pedigree Bluefaced Leicester wool—your heirloom layer of toxin-free warmth and modern heritage.
The Penrith Scarf is made from HERD’s celebrated Upland Tweed, a textile produced entirely within a 150-mile radius of the Northern England farms where the sheep are raised. It is the epitome of provenance, craft, and purity.
Every fleece is sourced directly from a trusted collective of pedigree Bluefaced Leicester breeders across Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, and Northumberland—all compensated far above market rate to ensure a thriving, ethical, soil-to-skin supply chain.
HERD Founder Ruth Alice Rands describes this breakthrough textile best:
A tweed this soft, made exclusively from British Bluefaced Leicester wool, simply didn’t exist—until now.
After a year of development with a master weaver in the Scottish Borders, the result is a tweed that is smoother, softer, and unmistakably British. The wool is plant-dyed in Yorkshire, then woven and finished in Scotland, creating a modern heirloom that wraps the wearer in authentic luxury.
Exceptionally soft: Bluefaced Leicester wool is known as the “cashmere of British wool.”
Size: One size — 29.5" × 63" (75 cm × 160 cm)
Colors: Plum Tartan and Lilac Tartan
The Penrith Scarf is crafted from 100% natural, toxin-free wool, free from synthetics, microplastics, PFAS, chemical dyes, and petroleum finishes. Its beauty comes from the land itself: heritage wool, plant pigments, and traditional weaving—not industrial chemistry.
HERD’s hyper-local approach protects your health and honors the earth:
No synthetic fibers—nothing to off-gas, irritate skin, or pollute your home.
Plant-dyed—gentle on the skin, gentle on the waterways.
Regenerative wool sourcing—supporting British farms and sustaining a heritage breed known for its extraordinary softness.
Low-impact production—every step occurs within Northern England and the Scottish Borders.
This is slow fashion at its most honest, healthy, and elevated.
Wool is naturally antibacterial and self-cleaning, which means less washing and more longevity.
To preserve the softness and natural oils of the Bluefaced Leicester wool:
Air out after wear; spot clean as needed.
If washing is necessary, hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool soap.
Press gently with a towel, then lay flat to dry.
Store folded (not hung) in a breathable space.
Avoid heat, friction, and harsh detergents.
Treat this piece like the modern heritage textile it is.
