TRACEABLE

Our Lady's Smock 'Gleòrann' yarn shade brings a soft, breath-of-spring directly to your knitting needles. A delicate, very pale dusky pink yarn, it takes its name from gleòrann—the Gaelic word for the wild cuckoo flower or Lady's Smock that blossoms across damp island grasslands. This ethereal hue beautifully captures the gentle, shifting light reflecting off the nodding heads of these delicate wildflowers. It offers a subtle, sophisticated clarity with exceptional stitch definition, making it an exquisite choice for intricate heirloom lace, vintage-inspired cables, or soft, contemporary cardigans.


100% Traceable Croft-to-Needle Scottish Yarn

The real magic of this pale dusky pink wool yarn lies in its uncompromised 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 botanical landscapes and language of the islands. 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 Scottish 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 weather-resistant winter accessories, you are working with an authentic piece of Scottish history.
