Our luxury, mixed fibre, hand-spun art yarns typically contain a mixture of 3 to 5 mixed dyed merino fleece, together with a selection from seaweed fibre, white or black bamboo, tencel (wood fibre), silk and other natural fibres.
We mix the colours on a hand drum carder with the inspiration coming from the land, sea & skyscapes of the Far North of Scotland, and sometimes places and faces we come across.
A special service that we offer: If you let us know 5 of your favourite colours in order of preference, we will create your own very personal colourway at no extra charge. Please contact us for further details.
Yarns are dyed in small batches as our process is very much of a “domestic” nature. Laurence is a meticulous note-taker and all our colours are carefully recorded with samples and batch numbers so that they can be reproduced with a fair amount of accuracy.
Creating our botanically hand-dyed yarns is not a speedy process - beauty and reliability take time!
Many customers comment on the softness of our yarns and the ease with which they glide over the needles. The stitch definition is also well appreciated.
