Healing :: I just wanted to share a little of our

Healing :: I just wanted to share a little of our news to you, our wonderful customers. Many of you will have noticed our sporadic business admin at the moment… one minute the shop is open, the next it isn’t, then appointment only. We have been making knee jerk decisions as we move along the journey of my diagnosis of bladder cancer. Whether to share this information or not had been a quandary but at the end of the day Shilasdair is such a personal business it feels right to fill you in.. I feel we haven’t been very ‘present’ here recently or at other woolly events so this helps to explain why. All that aside we are still very much working behind the scenes,it’s not just work but mindful therapy and solace for us! And we are feeling uber positive with my treatment plan which is well underway. The online shop is still go go go and we have an exciting new pattern being released on July 31st at @yorkshireyarnfest with a few more special collaborations too so watch this space 💚🙏😘

Soft summer light :: this palette of colours is so

Soft summer light :: this palette of colours is so delicious. It really sums up the colours of Skye on a warm and overcast July morning. Hope you are all having a peaceful weekend x

Green :: it’s funny how the world gets into sync

Green :: it’s funny how the world gets into sync with what you are focusing on. Yesterday we over dyed indigo dipped yarn with the last of our dried tansy flowers creating the exact same green as we found on our walk at the beach … more pics of the yarn to come… enjoy your Sunday everyone 🌱☀️💚

Dock leaves :: such a wonderful dye plant to work

Dock leaves :: such a wonderful dye plant to work with. Harvested and soaked on the same dye they produce the most wonderful warm mustard yellow :: we are always popular with local crofters on dock dye days as their weeds are our treasures 🌱💛
