#todaystie: a cashmere Ballantyne knitted tie made in Scotland for the first day that feels like fall. I don’t care if it looks like Michael Foot’s old sock, it’s a piece of the old Scottish knitters that no longer exists (you don’t want to hear my rant about the company that bears its name now). Ballantyne used to sell silk ties made in Italy with the tag “Designed by Stefano Ricci for Ballantyne”. I daresay they were far more tasteful than Ricci’s own garish ties but not really my cup of tea. It’s rather amusing that this tie, whose design likely never saw Italian eyes, still has the Ricci design tag. #caerleemills #stefanoricci #cashmeremadeinscotland #steez #innerleithentherealhomeofballantyne https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3hEE4rKvY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s actually happening, Oor sleepy little burgh of #Innerleithen and #tweedvalley is going to change for ever, even although it doesn’t have the infrastructure to accommodate the vast visitors already flocking to the Hills and trails daily!

Often asked about how Intarsia and Handflat knitting machines are powered and how it affects the environment? Well unlike the latest computerised knitting machinery like Shimas or Stoll etc. Apart from a strip light virtually Zero, recorded the first piece of knitting local top end quality velvet hall alpaca yarn to show the stitch close up and the power behind the machine. Yes pure muscle power, videos only 30 seconds but knitters did this for min 8 hour shift and often 12 hour or in my case much longer. Proud of being one of the last of the highly skilled handcrafted knitters of Innerleithen, #InnerleithenTheRealHomeOfBallantyne #tradition #intarsia #scotland #innerleithen #cashmere #makeitbritish #knitting #makeitscottish #makeitbritishlive #ballantynecrazyyank #scottishborders #tweedvalley #hwtextiles #kilt #outlander #outdoorheavyknitwear #ethical #sustainable #velvethallalpacas #eastangliaalpacamill #sustainablefashion #sustainabledesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmqj8YfnIs9/?igshid=aj9m9qsexn2

Granddaughter Cerys loves her #beaniehat with #pompom But looks like she loves Russel even more! (He was named after the TV detectorist program). If your local or visiting the area you to like #cerys could knit there own #beanie on a industrial knitting machine, under supervision of a skilled knitter.
