PURE WOOL

SUSTAINABLE

ETHICAL

TRACEABLE

Our Field Poppy deep red yarn shade brings to mind the brilliant, wild flowers that paint the Hebridean landscape during the peak summer months. In the Outer Hebrides, field poppies thrive on arable, disturbed ground that was ploughed the previous season. Somehow, these paper-thin, delicate little flowers find the strength to survive our blustery Atlantic winds, bringing stunning, unexpected splashes of vibrant red to our island crops. This rich, energetic shade translates beautifully into knits, providing stunning depth for dramatic statement pieces or striking contrast in traditional colourwork.


100% Traceable Croft-to-Needle Scottish Yarn

The real magic of this Scottish wool yarn lies in its authentic island heritage.Every single fleece is grown on traditional, independent crofts across the Outer Hebrides. Proudly certified by British Wool as ethical, responsible, and 100% traceable, this yarn connects your craft directly to the landscapes of the Outer Hebrides. When you cast on with this premium fleece, you are supporting historical island crofting communities and investing in sustainable, slow textiles.


Crafted for Sustainability and Longevity

This pure Hebridean wool yarn is gently processed to preserve the natural warmth, elasticity, and resilient character of traditional British wool. It handles with a rustic yet supple feel that softens and blooms beautifully with blocking, resulting in heirloom pieces built to endure for decades. Whether you are knitting a cozy heritage sweater or crafting eye-catching winter accessories, you are working with an authentic piece of Scottish history.
