Shilasdair - The Skye Yarn Company
Eva in the Dyehouse

 

Drawing on a background in Fine Arts and after lengthy study tours in Africa and the Middle East, Eva Fleg Lambert chose, in 1972, to set up her own textile studio on the Isle of Skye, where natural dyeing offers a window into that misty past when lichens and plants of meadow & moor were used to dye plaids and tartans.

In her studio dye plants from Skye and abroad are applied to fine Scottish wools & luxury fibres to reflect the island colours in a global context, producing yarns as soft as those Skye mists and as vibrantly hued as the landscapes revealed within.
