Lochan | Wee Loch | Alba 4ply

The Alba yarn collection is exclusive to Sealy MacWheely and has been blended and spun specially to my specifications with a unique blend of top quality British bred fibres.

Each colourway has been inspired by the landscape, language and folklore of the beautiful country of Scotland:

Lochan [Lɔxan] (loch-un) is the Scottish Gaelic for a small lake and was inspired by the colours of the multitude of lochs and lochans throughout Scotland.
(Fun fact - the phrase feumaidh mi lochan a dhèanamh is a colloquial way of excusing yourself to go to the bathroom and translated means 'I have to make a wee loch')

This yarn has been worsted spun for a soft yet rustic yarn, the perfect match of luxury and performance. Enjoy the softness of British Bluefaced Leicester, the durability of the Scottish Shetland and the luxury of the UK bred Alpaca, expertly blended for an exquisite feel that's built to last. Experience the warmth and comfort of this exclusive yarn – perfect for your special projects!

Semisolid yarns make a great contrast for your favourite variegated hand dyed skeins or can be used by themselves to add a pop of colour to your next project. They feature subtle tonal variations which add a beautiful depth of shade when knitted or crocheted up.

This range can be dyed to order, please contact me for jumper quantity requests.
