In Lotta’s own words:

“Korpsång means 'raven’s song' in Swedish: a seemingly contradictory name given the ominous annotations the raven’s cawing have. Yet ravens do have song – their calling can be playful, mournful and beautiful in all their hoarse variables. Walking through the forest each morning, I hear a raven pair caw in threes – krrp, krrp, krrp – calling their own name over the tree tops. Korpsång binds this sound into knitting: the three repeats of the raucous call given variable form in the eyelet pattern, which also mimics the silhouette of birds in flight.”

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.
