Wool Month 2025

October marks Wool Month — a time to celebrate one of nature’s most remarkable and sustainable fibres. From the rolling hills where sheep graze to the craftsmanship that transforms raw fleece into luxurious products, the wool industry has a long and proud tradition of quality, sustainability, and comfort.

---

The Campaign for Wool was launched in 2010 to educate consumers about the benefits of wool and help to support and grow the wool industry. Run by industry groups convened by His Majesty King Charles III, the Campaign works to engage consumers through exciting fashion, interiors and artisan activities centring around Wool Month each year.

So here we are, once again singing praises to this beautiful natural fiber.

At James Erskine, we’re proud to be part of this story — bringing timeless beauty, warmth, and practical benefits, all encompased in our Erskine Twist wool carpets range.

Here are just a few benefits of introducing wool into your home interiors:

The Benefits of Wool Carpets in Your Home:

1. Naturally Resilient & Long-Lasting
   Wool fibres bounce back, resisting crushing and wear. With proper care, wool carpets maintain their luxurious look and feel for years.

2. Soft, Comfortable, and Warm
   Few materials match the comfort underfoot that wool provides. It adds instant warmth and a welcoming feel to any room.

3. Naturally Stain-Resistant & Easy to Clean
   Wool has a natural coating of lanolin that helps repel dirt and liquids, making it easier to keep your carpet looking fresh.

4. Improves Indoor Air Quality
   Wool fibres can absorb common pollutants and help regulate humidity — creating a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment.

5. Sustainable & Biodegradable
   When it’s finally time to replace your carpet, wool breaks down naturally, returning nutrients to the soil rather than ending up as microplastics.

Come and celebrate Wool Month with us at Morningside, Edinburgh!
Explore our beautiful Erskine Twist collection of premium wool carpets in every colour. Our friendly flooring experts are here to help you find the perfect match for your home and lifestyle.

Bring the comfort and beauty of wool into your home this Wool Month — visit us in-store and choose your perfect wool carpet today.

We’re here for you, at Church Hill Pl. Edinburgh, EH10 4BD but we can travel to you!

Celebrating a Centennial with our very own Flooring range - Amore

To celebrate our centenary we have launched the James Erskine ‘Amore’ range of Luxury Vinyl Tiles. LVT and Vinyl are the ideal products for any high traffic areas in the home, including bathrooms as they are highly durable, water resistant and easy to maintain.

Why ‘Amore’ Vinyl Tiles Are the Perfect Choice for Busy Homes?

When it comes to flooring, homeowners want something stylish, durable, and easy to live with. If you’ve got a busy household—children / grandchildren running around, pets racing across the room, or just the daily hustle and bustle—vinyl tiles could be your new best friend.

The Benefits of ‘Amore’ Vinyl Tiles

1. Built to Last
Vinyl tiles are designed to stand up to daily wear and tear. They’re scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and water-resistant, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with pets. Whether it’s muddy paw prints, spilled juice, or dropped toys, vinyl tiles can handle it all without losing their good looks.

2. Stylish Variety
Vinyl tiles are available in countless designs, from realistic wood and stone finishes to bold, modern patterns. Whatever your interior style, there’s a vinyl tile to match.

3. Pet-Friendly
Pets bring joy to a home, but they can be tough on flooring. Vinyl tiles are comfortable underfoot (or paw), and easy to clean if accidents happen. Plus, they’re warmer and quieter than hard stone or ceramic tiles, giving your furry friends a cozy space to relax.

4. Cost-Effective
Compared to natural stone or hardwood, vinyl tiles offer a budget-friendly alternative without compromising on quality or appearance. You can achieve a high-end look for a fraction of the price. James Erskine’s moto is:

Never Beaten on price!

Perfect for Real Life

Busy households need flooring that works with their lifestyle, not against it. Vinyl tiles deliver the durability, style, and practicality that modern homes demand. With easy installation and low maintenance, they’re an investment that saves time and effort—leaving you more room to enjoy family life (and your pets).

How to care for your made-to-measure curtains?

We thought, now that you know about our curtains service, you would enjoy this handy guide on the upkeep and care for your new curtains.

· Vacuum your Curtains regularly using a brush attachment, to keep your curtains dust and dirt free.

· Regular redressing of the curtains may be required to maintain appearance. This will help drapes to remain in place. The tightening of the drapes within the tie-backs or hold backs can help the curtains to remain fixed in place.

· Steaming your curtains in-situ can help to remove any creases.

· Note on Chenille and Velvet fabrics the pile may flatten in areas. This may result in a ‘shaded’ area on contact areas but this is normal for this type of fabric. Vacuum using a brush attachment to reduce flattening.

· If you have ordered coordinating scatter cushions with your curtains, plump them up regularly to maintain their shape and appearance.

When your curtains require a professional clean, please take them to the dry cleaners. This helps with avoiding any shrinkage or color trasnfers.

And now to the job of hanging your curtains back…

 

· Eyelet Curtains – Start with one end of the curtain with the front facing you. Place the eyelet over the pole so that only the front of the curtain can be seen once hung. Carry on placing the eyelets through in a concertina fashion. Once both curtains have been replaced tighten up bracket screws.

· Pencil Pleat Curtains – Insert your curtain hooks, starting with the middle point on the header tape and working to the outer edge of the curtain, leaving around 5cm between hooks. If your curtain does not have an overlap, put the hook on the curtain in the middle of the window on the 2nd to end pocket to allow a curtain overlap once the curtain is drawn. This is required on the curtain to the left as you walk into the room, to ensure that no light can be seen between the curtains when drawn.

Pinch Pleat Curtains – A unique feature of these curtains is that you can adjust the drop by moving the hook down the slider. This process can be repeated until you are satisfied with the look. Pinch pleat curtains have the pleats permanently sewn in and
