💜🪻 Glenling Sparkle— Hand‑Dyed Artisan Yarn 💜🪻

Highland heather, captured in small treasures

Bring a little Highland magic to your fibre projects with Glenling Sparkle a hand-dyed set that captures the hues of blooming heather and misty glens in shimmering, jewel-toned strands. Expertly dyed in small batches in Scotland by Thistle Yarns, this charming sparkle skein set blends soft colour nuance with subtle metallic shimmer.

Colour & Inspiration

Inspired by the Highlands when the heather is at its brightest and softest, Glenling Sparkle evokes rich purples, deep mauves and warm pinks softened by light and shadow — as if sunlight were dancing on flowering moorland. The delicate sparkles throughout mirror that glint of light on a clear day, adding gentle luminosity without overpowering your project palette

Care Instructions
