Hello. We are an Antwerp based knitwear brand. Since 1981 we have been producing quality knitwear in Scotland and in 2009 we launched our new label Howlin’ (scottish slang for smelly). The way of manufacturing remains traditional but Howlin' offers more room for fantasy in shape and pattern. At Howlin’ we strive for timeless, playful products that are made with care. So whether it is a scarf or a shaggy waistcoat; all our products are individually manufactured and hand finished by traditionally skilled craftsmen in either Scotland, Ireland or Belgium using the highest quality yarns possible. Small is beautiful.

MADE IN SCOTLAND
This truly unique piece of knitwear is 100% made in Scotland by master crafts people. Each Shaggy Bear is handled individually and tenderly, throughout its entire production, from the first precise stitch to the delicate pressing and folding. The real uniqueness lies in the exclusive Shetland yarn that we developed together with a local spinner creating exceptional colour melanges. Far from everything else in the world we have our own knitting process under one small roof. From cleaning the fleeces, which are coming from local crofters, to dying the wool, spinning yarn and finally knitting this original Shaggy Bear. Be not mistaken, it’s often imitated, never duplicated.
