The Legacy Behind Our Cashmere: Why We Choose Todd & Duncan
A Heritage Mill on the Shores of Loch Leven
At Moggans, we believe every pair of our Luxury Cashmere Bed Socks should tell a story — of comfort, quality, and craftsmanship. That’s why we work with Todd & Duncan, a historic Scottish mill with over 150 years of expertise in spinning cashmere yarn.
Located at Loch Leven in Kinross, Scotland, Todd & Duncan combines traditional craftsmanship with modern precision. The mill uses the soft waters of Loch Leven in its process, giving fibres a distinctive, luxurious “Scottish handle.” All water is carefully treated and returned to the loch, protecting the local wildlife and environment.
Meticulous Craftsmanship for Premium Quality
Every batch of cashmere fibre is quality-checked for softness, length, and purity. The fibres are then carefully de-haired, blended, dyed, and spun — producing a yarn with signature structure and volume. Todd & Duncan’s slow-spun yarn process ensures a dense, tactile feel perfect for luxury knitwear.
This meticulous craftsmanship results in a yarn with superior softness, resilience, and longevity — which is why we use it for Moggans socks designed to elevate every cozy moment at home.
Sustainability Is in Their DNA
Todd & Duncan are deeply committed to sustainability:
- Traceable sourcing: Every fibre lot is tracked from pasture to finished yarn.
- Animal welfare: They work with suppliers who maintain ethical herding practices.
- Eco-conscious processes: Water from Loch Leven used in spinning and dyeing is treated and returned, and environmentally friendly dyes are employed throughout.
At Moggans, we complement this with responsible fibre blends, including recycled polyamide, for lasting durability.

Why Todd & Duncan Cashmere Matters for Moggans Socks
