This beautiful, fawn, white and silver Alpaca rug, from two crofts over the hill. 120 x 80cm (approximately) and oh so soft. Would make an ideal bedside rug to squish your toes into, first thing in the morning!

The rug below is made from the most gorgeous Shetland wool. It comes with a story and was actually rescued from landfill as a farmer down in Nairn had too much to deal with and put out a plea on social media for someone to help as they couldn’t bare to waste it. My friends at Highland Wool and I were happy to oblige and have been working tirelessly to help it reach its potential. Its been tough as it was very very dirty, but we wouldn’t be beaten and look how lovely it is now! Made with added local deep brown shetland wool from my friend’s sheep in Lairg.

This super soft and bouncy rug is made on a peg loom using a combination of mill waste and selvege. This makes a looser, more open rug. It really feels so lovely underfoot.

This is one of my favourites! Its made from beautiful hebridean wool, from several sheep. it really shows the variety of colours you can get from hebridean sheep.

Pipit is very fond of it too! (SOLD)
