We gather local roots, barks, leaves and with mindful processes reveal nature’s secret colours

By using ancient and traditional techniques we aim to keep the chain of knowledge going – We are passionate about working responsibly and naturally.

We are still busy stocking our shelves working out We are still busy stocking our shelves working out how and where our displays will go this year.  The shop will open on Monday the 26th of April in accordance with Scottish government guidelines.  It will be wonderful to have customers in our building again...it definitely suits the buzz of people coming and going.  In the meantime the online shop is still stocked up.  This picture is of our ‘molach’ Wensleydale Dk yarn in 50g... dyed with local meadowsweet and dock....shining little rays of sunshine today ☀️

Pattern up dates! There are still a few colours le Pattern up dates! There are still a few colours left of our coara rope for @kariebookish Cuillin sweater including the madder red shown in Karie’s original design.  Like buses all our pattern plans are arriving at once!!! Here is a sneaky peek at a beautiful shawl designed by @madewithloops made all the more exciting because it is launching a new 4 ply yarn base which is so soft and squishy to wear.  This is all doubly exciting as it will be released to coincide with @botanica_yarnfest (so many links in one post!) on the 1st of May x
