Many coloured speckles echo the diverse geology to be found in the stones on Auchmithie beach. In history, the ‘Mucklebackit’ wifeys of the Auchmithie fisher families would carry their menfolk on their backs, barefoot, to the boats so the sailors could put to sea in dry shoes. A reminder of women’s burden and sacrifice. Sir Walter Scott immortalised the Auchmithie fishers through is character Saunders Mucklebackit in his novel, The Antiquary.
75% Superwash Merino 27 micron
25% Nylon
225m/246yards/100g
A bouncy, durable but still soft all round sock yarn. This one has a bit more of a traditional lambswool handle but is still suitable for next to skin wear. A perennial favourite, it takes colour well and gives crisp stitch and speckle definition.
All our yarns are responsibly sourced from farms where Mulesing is not practiced. Superwash yarns are produced to ISO14001 accreditation or equivalent practices.
In the studio, we use minimal resources, recycle soak and dye water where we can and try to source sustainable and recyclable packaging for your yarn wherever practical to do so.
All my yarns are dyed to exhaust in the dyebath and thoroughly rinsed. Some shades, particularly hot pinks and blues, can release a little bit of colour when wet. Always swatch for colourfastness before committing to knit two different yarns together to avoid surprises.
