From Fleece to Felt
The transformation from raw Scottish wool into a versatile textile material — and the development of Fleeced's contemporary felt products.

Before wool becomes a finished object, it is a fleece. Working with it at this stage brings us close to the animal and the farm, and to the differences that make each natural fibre worth understanding.
For Fleeced, felt opens up another way of working with Scottish wool. It gives the fibre a textile form that can be cut, shaped and brought together with other materials to make practical goods.
Our bags and pouches pair wool felt with waxed cloth. The contrast is part of their character: the texture of wool alongside a material chosen for everyday use. Colour, lining and the proportions of a piece all contribute to the finished design.
That journey is about more than changing the appearance of a fleece. It is about finding a useful place for Scottish wool in contemporary life, while keeping its origin visible.
The collection continues that idea through bags, pouches and bespoke commissions for distilleries, hospitality and retail — considered objects that begin with a natural material and the people who care for it.
