Message from the Farmers
Our knitting wool is spun from wool from our own small flock of Shetland sheep as well as our good friends Irene + Jim Riach's much larger flock who graze the hills above the Lake of Menteith. Shetland sheep are a hardy breed of native sheep who thrive in our climate.
The wool was spun at Uist Wool, a community owned mill on the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Set up as a way to add value and reduce waste to local agriculture, Uist Wool has spun our fleeces for a number of years and we are thrilled to support their work and be able to sell wool grown and spun in Scotland.
We are proud that our wool is entirely produced in Scotland. Grown on the Menteith hills, graded, washed and spun on South Uist by Uist Wool.
