As we’re celebrating Wool Week, we’d like to focus this blog post on one of the oldest family-run knitwear businesses in the Borders – William Lockie. Right in the centre of Hawick, this knitwear mill has been running since 1874, mixing advanced technology with traditional hand manufacturing skills to produce garments of the highest quality.
