Nicky Thomson Collection

Since launching four years ago British ethical knitwear label Nicky Thomson has rapidly built up a reputation for her textile innovations and a commitment to fine craftsmanship.  

Recognised as one of the cream of the fashion industry this March, she joined the glitterati at Buckingham Palace in recognition of their contribution to the British clothing industry.

Commercially astute and ethically committed, her collection of designer knits and woollen accessories have been an instant hit and are now in 150 UK stockists, plus sold in America, Australia, France, Germany and Spain.  They will be launching into Japan this November. 

Nicky  uses the finest 100% natural, renewable and sustainable yarns sourced from traditional Scottish and English Mills.  Her collections are made from a mix of lamb’s wool and angora fibres giving a feel which could easily be mistaken for cashmere.

Nicky is an innovating textile expert and is continually experimenting with yarn stitch size, washing and hand finishing. She spent years developing her own felt making technique by hand, which has become a sought after trade secret.  Making felt is a complex process, and although her textiles are now made by specialist manufacturers, the felt finishing processes are always done by Nicky in her own studio.

Committed to supporting British industry and talent, Nicky has developed a network of small, family run textile manufacturers in the UK. 



Nicky Thomson is for people who love something special and unique.  They are contemporary and on trend and will appeal to those who shun mass production and enjoy more individuality.  All fabric waste bits are recycled for children to use in their art work.
