TRACEABLE

Our Reef 'Sgeir' yarn shade brings the breath-taking, luminous beauty of the Atlantic Ocean directly to your needles. A vibrant, iridescent turquoise blue yarn, it evokes the magical clarity of the shallow Hebridean sea as it washes over pristine sandy reefs. Taking its name from sgeir—the Gaelic word for a marine rock or skerry—this radiant hue mirrors the shifting coastal light. It provides a stunning splash of color that lends incredible visual depth to textured lace patterns, striking colorwork motifs, or standout summer and winter garments.


100% Traceable Croft-to-Needle Scottish Yarn

The real magic of this turquoise blue 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 pristine waters and white sands 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 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.
