Mìlsean-mara – Sea pink grows on our rocky Hebridean shores and salt marsh in-lets flowering between April and July. In spite of its small and delicate appearance it is incredibly hardy. Deluged every full moon by our spring tides and at times summer gales, its little heads remain defiant and resplendent giving us carpets of glorious sea pink.

 

Thus our Nordic style hat and mittens pattern is delicate yet strong like the flower. The neat fitting hat will take you hiking to the top of the mountain and the mittens will keep your fingers cosy on any blustery beach walk

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.
