Yarn Kit only – you can find this pattern in Erika's book Island Knitting which contains a chapter designed in Birlinn Yarn and can be purchase from our store: HERE

 

Erika’s book takes you on a wonderful voyage between the islands of the Outer Hebrides, Shetland, Gotland and Blidö with all the Hebridean patterns designed in Birlinn Yarn.

 

I have set up the yarn kits with everything you need … just press the button!!

 

Erika’s words: “The soggy black of peat, thrift, bong cotton and a little moorland – everything in a classic, quite formal and easy-to-wear vest that’s great to wear over a shirt and under a jacket. The yarn really comes into its own in this kind of patterned knitting. It’s a delight to knit with and very comfortable 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.
