Tights made as they should be, in our dreams! 

No plastic, no nylon, but with excellent elasticity. Knit in a ribbed stitch in our finer Herd Wool with it's natural elasticity for excellent wearability. We have stitched in biodegradable elastic at the waistband. These are pure warmth and comfort, and must be tried to be believed. 

Designed by leading stylist Rachel Bakewell.

Carefully designed and made in England, from Bluefaced Leicester wool, this considered edit is made within 150 miles soil to skin in N.W England and is free from chemicals. The organic cotton ribbon is created using plant dyes.

Rachel Bakewell:
"I was first drawn to HERD because of their truly sustainable ethos - there is no harm, waste, or unnecessary travel, with everything being made naturally using the finest wool here in England. Being part of the design process and bringing garments to life has been incredibly special and I have enjoyed every moment! 

Detail - The Tights are ribbed, with diamond pointelle detail down the front.   

Wool - The Tights is made from our very own fully traceable, super soft Bluefaced Leicester sheep wool, which we source ourselves at a fair price from farmers in N.W England, and then process and make into yarn within 150 miles of the farms. Some shares are undyed, using blends of cream and brown Bluefaced Leicester fleece. When dyed, we only use plant extracts and naturally occurring mordants. The ribbon is organic cotton, dyed using plants in Derbyshire.

Washing - Wool requires minimal washing. Hand wash in cool water if needed. 

Size & fit - Take your usual clothing size. Model wears Small.  

Colours - Available in Ecru, Anthracite (very dark brown/soft black) and Lilac.
