Shilasdair Luxury DK is a truly amazing
knitting yarn. Dyed using natural dyes on the Isle of Skye by Eva Fleg Lambert. Eva started her textile studio in 1972 on the island. She sources her plant dyes from Skye and abroad. The dyes are applied to Scottish fleeces and luxury fibres, such as cashmere and angora and are reflective of the islands colours.
