For over 150 years, Todd & Duncan has been recognised as one of the world's leading cashmere spinners. Founded in Scotland in 1867, the mill has earned the trust of luxury fashion houses and knitwear makers across the globe, producing cashmere yarns renowned for their softness, durability and extraordinary depth of colour.
Nestled on the banks of Loch Leven, their heritage mill combines generations of expertise with modern innovation, creating cashmere that is as enduring as it is beautiful.
Since 1867, Todd & Duncan has refined the art of cashmere spinning in Scotland. Every stage of the process is guided by generations of knowledge, from fibre selection and blending to spinning and dyeing. Their commitment to traditional craftsmanship, combined with modern precision, creates yarns celebrated for their exceptional softness, resilience and timeless quality.
Exceptional cashmere begins at its source. Todd & Duncan works closely with nomadic herding communities and carefully selected suppliers who uphold high standards of animal welfare and sustainable grazing practices. By supporting responsible sourcing and traditional herding livelihoods, they help preserve both the wellbeing of the animals and the landscapes where cashmere has been produced for generations.
Todd & Duncan cashmere is chosen by some of the world's most respected luxury brands and knitwear manufacturers. Their reputation has been built on consistency, traceability and uncompromising quality. Every fibre is carefully selected and every yarn meticulously crafted, resulting in cashmere that offers remarkable softness, beautiful colour and lasting performance.
At Todd & Duncan, over a century and a half of Scottish expertise is woven into every yarn. At Ahipao, that exceptional fibre is transformed into timeless knitwear on Waiheke Island, where modern craftsmanship meets natural luxury.
