Inspired by the desire to keep telling women’s’ stories (her-story) this colour-way is in remembrance of the African women brought to Scotland as ‘gift’s for a King. Hand‑dyed in small batches, each skein reflects the grey-blacks, bright yellows, and soft greens of the garments selected for the women who entered the royal court.
Key Details
Fibre Content: 75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon,
Yarn Weight: 4‑ply / Sock / Fingering
Meterage: 400m per 100g
Because this yarn is hand dyed, no two skeins are exactly alike. For larger projects, alternate skeins every few rows to ensure even colour distribution.
Colours may vary slightly from photos due to:
camera and lighting differences
screen brightness and colour settings
natural tonal shifts within hand‑dyed yarn
Hand dyed in small batches in Scotland
Soft, breathable merino with nylon strength
Beautiful tonal colour variation
Excellent stitch definition
Perfect for socks, shawls, mitts, and lightweight garments
Wash gently in cool to lukewarm water with a mild wool wash
Superwash fibres tolerate movement, but hand washing protects longevity
Optional: delicate machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag (cool water only)
Avoid hot water or sudden temperature changes
Press water out gently — do not wring
Lay flat to dry, shaping while damp
Keep away from direct heat sources
Fold garments rather than hang to maintain shape
