It’s mid-July, and the wild flowers of Uist are at their most abundant, colourful, diverse and glorious!

Hebridean Woolshed : Merino and Shetland Yarn

This 2-plied Light Aran yarn captures the light and colour of summer in Uist. I’m making six skeins of various weights – totalling more than 350g, so there’s sufficient available for much more than just one simple Beany hat!

This handspun yarn is available to buy at the Hebridean Woolshed’s shop here in the walled garden at Cille Bhrìghde, South Uist.
