Our Speckled Hen 'Cearc Bhreac' 4 Ply Marl yarn blends the natural beauty of the islands into a classic, textured twist. Combining crisp Cheviot and dark brown Hebridean sheep wool, this multi-tonal yarn evokes the comforting nostalgia of traditional fisherman sweaters, hardwearing hiking socks, and the familiar sight of Grannie's clucky speckled hens. The contrast of light and dark fibres creates a beautiful, rustic marled effect that adds rich visual texture to simple stockinette, everyday garter stitch, and timeless cable projects.
100% Traceable Croft-to-Needle Scottish Yarn
The real magic of this natural grey marl wool yarn lies in its authentic 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 of the Outer Hebrides. 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 and Cheviot wool yarn is gently processed to preserve the natural warmth, elasticity, and resilient character of traditional British 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 eye-catching winter accessories, you are working with an authentic piece of Scottish history.
