So here it is! SOGH :: Scots Gaelic for the word ‘luxury’. It is the most devine yarn base to work with. 75% superfine UK alpaca and 25% long fibre British wool and spun in Yorkshire. The fibre soaks up our natural dyes so beautifully and by dying over a natural fawn base colour the hues are rich and soft. The 50g skeins are now in our online shop (link in bio) and for 50g you get approx 225m/246 yards xxx

The @portreemitts kits are now online! How excitin

The @portreemitts kits are now online! How exciting!! The lovely @kariebookish designed them for us and was meant to be teaching a colourwork retreat here on Skye last weekend but as the world adapts around us so we have to adapt too. So.. here we are releasing the pattern now...
I love Karie’s colour choice and am genuinely looking forward to casting on a pair of these mitts. With gales and torrential rain outside it is definitely not too late to knit an extra pair of mitts.
Kits include 6 mini skeins of our coara sport yarn and a code to access the Portree mitts pattern on Ravelry. Free postage to uk x💛x
