🍂Autumn is officially here. Not sure about wher 🍂Autumn is officially here. Not sure about where you stay but here on Skye there is definitely a chill in the air. 
🍂I find this time of year hugely inspiring to knit, crochet, make. 
So we are delighted to share this release of a new pattern and kit with you. Designed by me (eek!) it is a pair of cosy wrist warmers knitted up in Tuath, our Shetland fingering weight yarn naturally dyed with indigo and madder.
🍂 The inspiration for the wrist warmers comes from my daily walks to Rubha nam Braitheran ( brothers point) which is a 5 minute walk from our door. 
🍂I find great solace in this wild and beautiful coast line and find the hypnotic waves, whether they be crashing or lapping, act as an anchor in my life. 

🍂as with everything I knit these are a simple knit! It’s a 12 stitch repeat using double pointed needles. Rhythmic and calming like the waves these wrist warmers knit up quick (hurray!) and make a good Autumn project. It uses 4 shades of yarn and we have made up kits with a digital pattern which are available in our online shop now ✨🍁🍂😘

✨slow colour magic✨ ✨it’s been a flurry of ✨slow colour magic✨
✨it’s been a flurry of activity here this week and I keep forgetting to take photos!
✨it’s wool shop visiting season I think as we have had so many lovely customers from all over the world coming to visit our wee shop on Skye. It’s incredibly inspiring meeting other makers and hearing what they are going to create with our yarn.
✨we are still managing to keep the dye pots busy and have been dyeing with birch today - final colour we need to create more healing shawl kits so more news on those coming soon 🥰
✨teasing the colour out of the birch bark is a slow process of gentle heating and soaking for days. But with patience we get rewarded with a delicate salmon colour.. magical ✨🌱🥰

✨coara chunky bundles✨ 🧶Amelia has bundled ✨coara chunky bundles✨
🧶Amelia has bundled together beautiful bunches of our naturally dyed yarn and they are in our online shop now
🌱we have all different weights in there and they make a brilliant gift - we have lots of non knitters and crocheters buying them as pressies for friends back home here in our Skye shop.
✨they are also a really good way to add colour to a project without having to buy a 100g ball of each 
🍁I admit I thought this photo would be perfect for the start of the ‘ember’ months’ when the weather starts to chill but we’ve woken up today to a glorious ☀️day! 
😃have a wonderful day no matter what the weather 🙏✨📿
