TRACEABLE

Our Oats 'Corca' yarn shade brings a sophisticated, timeless neutral palette directly to your needles. A soft, warm silvery grey yarn that is beautifully understated yet highly stylish, it takes its name from corca—the Gaelic word for oats. It provides a versatile, elegant background with exceptional stitch definition, making it a spectacular choice for complex textured stitch motifs, crisp cable pullovers, or minimalist everyday luxury wear.


100% Traceable Croft-to-Needle Scottish Yarn

The real magic of this silvery grey 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 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.
