Natural Colours

Our Scottish wool yarn is a limited edition, seasonal product. In the Outer Hebrides, we shear our sheep on our crofts in late June. The wool is then graded, bagged and sent to the mill for spinning. After that there is no more … the dye is set.

The blended tones of our Natural range reflect the rustic wilderness of the Outer Hebrides.

Whether knitted up on its own or combined with our Hebridean colour range, our yarn will create soft, warm garments that take a bit of weather and are perfect for a brisk Sunday walk, hike in the mountains or simply staying cosy.

Why not knit yourself a little bit of our special islands.

What to knit with our yarn

Our range of knitting patterns are being developed in collaboration with leading knitwear designers. They are unique to The Birlinn Yarn Company and draw their creative inspiration from the culture, ecology and aesthetics of the Outer Hebrides.
