Our yarns are a mixture of natural and dyed fibres, blended by hand and spun in very small batches in our own tiny mill in the Scottish Borders. We make yarns which are beautifully soft with oodles of character and impeccable provenance. But working on a such a small scale, we can't make perfectly consistent, reproducible yarns. So as well as the occasional slub or the odd knot, you may find some some small inconsistency in thickness or colour, even within a batch. A lot of people like this variation in our yarn, but if you want to avoid any noticeable changes within a section of knitting, as with all hand-dyed yarns, it's recommended to work alternate rows using two different skeins - either throughout the garment or at least for a few rows either side of the change to a new skein.
