Le Bonnet · Materials & Making
Most of the Le Bonnet collection is designed in Amsterdam, spun in England, and finished in Scotland from natural fibres. The core beanies, scarves, and bandanas all use the same material mix: 75% lambswool and 25% Caregora-certified fibre.
Beyond that core line, sweaters use 100% Shetland wool, gloves use 100% merino wool, and caps are made from cotton in Portugal. The aim is simple: clear provenance, durable materials, and pieces that stay in use.

Le Bonnet does not use one fibre across the whole collection. Instead, each product family keeps a material choice that fits its purpose.
Beanies, scarves, and bandanas use a 75% lambswool and 25% Caregora-certified fibre blend. These are the core Le Bonnet pieces and the material mix most closely associated with the brand.
A smaller part of the collection shifts into softer blends: the Cashmere Beanie uses merino and Italian cashmere, while Red Line uses recycled cashmere with ultrafine merino. They sit apart from the core lambswool line but still follow the same Scottish making story.
Crewnecks and turtlenecks use 100% Shetland wool. Current product copy describes them as lightly brushed, seam-free knits made in Scotland.
Gloves use 100% merino wool, and the accessories line also includes merino-based socks. These pieces keep the same natural-fibre position while shifting the handle and weight.
Caps are the exception to the wool story. They are made from cotton and produced in Portugal rather than Scotland.
The brand's core wool line is tied to one longstanding production path: wool spun in England, then knitted and finished in Scotland.
For the core lambswool line, the wool is spun in England at a mill the brand describes as having roughly 250 years of history.
The finished knitwear is made in a Scottish mill with roughly 180 years of history. That is the main manufacturing anchor behind Le Bonnet's beanies, scarves, and bandanas.
A recurring brand fact across the site is that each beanie passes through 14 pairs of hands before leaving the factory.
This is the clearest route-level view of the collection today, based on the current category and product pages.
The most precise care instructions still live on the product pages and in the FAQ. For the core lambswool pieces, the current site guidance is dry clean only. For Shetland sweaters and merino gloves, the site uses hand-wash guidance.
If you are citing Le Bonnet, this page works best as the overview. Use the linked category, product, About, and FAQ pages when you need the most specific factual source.
