Hyla Check Throw in close up showing the subtle gradation of the greys – an interesting design challenge! In the shop by Xmas ... #weaving #artisan #limitededition #madeinscotland

Sometimes you just need the comfort of an old favourite! Hyla Check Throws are based on the pattern of a much-loved blanket that was in Roger’s family for years. Great to see it back on the loom 😃 #skyeweavers #poweredbypedal #isleofskye

On the loom - the final variation in our Island Check scarves. This is a new colour combination, inspired by kelp and pebbles on the beach. Perfect for autumn! 🍂🍂 #weaving #craft #artisan #isleofskye

Just back from another brilliant trip to @Auchindrain Township to waulk (hand finish) some of our tweed with Sgioba Luaidh Inbhirchluaidh + Mull waulking group Cuigeal. Videos to follow soon! #heritage #craft #madeinscotland

The sun came out to celebrate last week as we sent off this year’s Skye Wool to the spinners in Yorkshire 😎 - all 35 bags (3500 kg) of it! Can't wait to get our hands on the finished yarn. #skyewool #locallyproduced #isleofskye

In the warping shed with one of my favourite colours 💛 It's inspired by the 'sunburst' lichen, Xanthoria parietina. We'll be turning these into Island Check Scarves. #inspiredbynature #isleofskye

On the loom: A new variation of our Island Check Scarves, inspired by a grassy hill view. We hope you like it! #inspiredbyskye #textiledesign #madeinscotland

A #throwback to clipping day in Glendale 🐑 The weather has been a real challenge for farmers & crofters this year but Malcolm & team (and Adrian & sheep!) did a fantastic job, thank you! 👏 👏 #sheep #crofting #farming #rural #isleofskye

New weave on the loom: Paul's pedalling a checked version of our Island Scarves which were so popular last year. Three more colourways to come – we hope you like them! #weaving #weaver #poweredbypedal

Summer seemed to pass us by this year. But it finally arrived at the same time as these scarves. So we named them – the Skye Sunshine Scarf 😎 In the shop now: skyeweavers.co.uk/shop/skye-…

Hands-on tradition: Handfasting is an age-old Celtic ritual symbolising commitment, and many hands were involved in creating these handfasting ribbons. Read all about it in our blog skyeweavers.co.uk/blog/waulk… #tweed #craft #heritage #traditions
