Sometimes we all need a little hope and strength to endure difficult times, and we all need something to keep ourselves calm and distracted. We have two stunning new yarns for you: Dòchas hope and Mair endure.

For 2020 we are collaborating with some of our amazing friends in the hand-dyeing world to bring you a series of extra-special coloured yarns on a range of our bases.
The series is called Dath (dye), and the first is Meirg (corrode), dyed by @oldmaidenaunt

[Uist Wool @UistWool]

The rusty reds are highlighted perfectly by the blue and grey hues, evoking the striking rusted roofs of old croft sheds.
Meirg is over-dyed on our gorgeous silvery Siaban 4-ply base, creating a deep rich tone. Sold in 50g skeins at £18. We have a very limited amount of these!

Introducing the Ceangail Scarf

New Woven Scarves from our friends at @ardalanish_mill Woven in 3 tweedy shades, these gorgeous scarves are elegance and warmth combined. Woven from robust British breed #uistwool raised in the Outer Hebrides, processed and spun at Uist Wool (1/3)

...and skilfully woven by Ardalanish Isle of Mull Weavers in a simple and subtle herringbone twill. The result is a warm and practical scarf, with a soft brushed finish and elegant twisted fringing. Truly an artisanal product brimming with traceability... (2/3)

Thrilled to be a part of this!

The yarn that @UistWool produced from Sweeny's fleeces was lovely to work with - from warping to weaving! So pleased @sweenyness liked the finished tweed!
