Icicle Ice Sweater is a lovely long distance collaboration between Birlinn Yarn in the Hebrides and Japanese knitwear designer Rie Okamoto.

Rie took time to converse with me about her life in Japan, her route to knitwear design and her sources of inspiration which you can read about in our blog: HERE

Icicle Ice Sweater is a bottom up knitted sweater with relaxed sizing and cropped length. The sweater combines cables and lace work with a variety of ribs to create a relaxed, comfortable sweater. The large gusset, the other significant feature, also makes this sweater easy to wear.

Our Wool

Our 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.
