The mill floor is where the magic happens and where UIST yarns are brought to life. The powerful combination of heritage carding & their inventive engineers allows them to create modern wonders with traditional materials. Their commitment to quality & innovation ensures that everything they produce is among the finest the world has to offer, and they’re always exploring new ideas and pushing the limitless possibilities provided by their beautiful native wools.
A true Hebridean yarn capturing the spirit and strength of these hardy North Atlantic native sheep. The dense, deep brown wool offers a surprising softness that underlies a courageous heart and sturdy soul.
A perfect mix of Cheviot and Hebridean wool is used to create a magical strand that shifts from light to dark. Inspired by the subtlety of a neap tide, Conntraigh creates a gradient stripe effect when knitted, blending subtly from pale, ice-cool grey into a dark, blue-slate grey and back again.
A salty blend of Uist wools, this pale and mysterious yarn matches the blurred edges between sand and land as dunes drift and settle beyond the beaches in a wild Winter gale. Pale in color, Siaban ripples and pulses with interest, tone, and shade as the contrasting colors of the blended fibers nestle together in the twist to form true depth of shade in this light yarn.
Powerful elements have come together to shape stormy Sian, a deep, dark blended yarn that echoes fulsome rain-bearing clouds racing westerly across our heads as we run for shelter before the deluge.
A moment of silence in a modern life, Sìth is a balanced blend of Cheviot & Hebridean that reflects the stillness of time when we allow ourselves the peace to imagine drifting away on a flat, calm sea under a light cool sky.
Uist is no stranger to the sudden emptying of Sian-grey clouds. Cheviot slubbing offers a glimmer of sunshine through the warm, rich, chocolate-brown deluge of Zwartbles fiber in this yarn.
Making the most out of the unique nature of their refurbished carding machinery, Uist Wool can create this amazing effect with stunning results.
Ever-changing and pure, clouds breeze through in constant activity- Nothing prepares you for the light and skies of the Outer Hebrides. Classic natural white of top-grade Cheviot yarn that conveys the clarity and purity of the North Atlantic machair coastlines.
Fresh, crisp and clear, Fuaran mixes Zwartbles, Texel & Mixed Breeds to match the colour and dynamic of water tumbling and bursting over granite rocks on its way to the ocean.
Lovely color!!
I'm making fingerless mitts with this yarn and love it! I'm hoping to have enough left over to make a coordinating hat or warm headband. This yarn is beautiful. My future may warrant a nice woolly sweater made from this yarn!
The Calma Aran is so beautiful. Very very dark rich color, almost black with a hint of chocolate. Bits of hay throughout (a positive in my book). Very woolly, very rustic but I think it will soften a lot when washed. I haven't knit with it yet because it needs the "perfect" pattern, but can't wait to. Absolutely gorgeous yarn. Glad to have snagged some!
