The knitwear design team based in Hawick is all set to make a new record by knitting the world’s longest cashmere scarf to be displayed at the very well known Selfridge store in London.
Gillian Henry, an accessory designer, has already started knitting the scarf giving it a classic style. It has reached 50 feet long and continues to grow by 5 five feet per day.
As a part of the ‘Handbag Heaven’ promotional weekend in the Oxford street shop, the designers at Johnstons have already started tailoring the scarf in Selfridge’s signature yellow.
Selfridge has provided Johnstons, a platform to promote knitting, cashmere, accessories and most importantly the tag-Made in Scotland.
