The Wee Yarn Company x Iris Floor Ceramics

Originally from Scotland, where the sheep outnumber the people, yarn must be in my DNA. I currently live in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, with my partner and our dog Winifred.

I've been knitting ever since my Gran taught me when I was a kid. I really got inspired by beautiful hand-dyed yarns and after dyeing a lot of yarns for myself, I'm now very happy to be dyeing for others.

As most independent dyers I started out in our kitchen. After starting The Wee Yarn Company and dyeing on a larger scale I soon outgrew this small space. After some hard work we have now transformed the little shed in our backyard to my own cosy little dye studio.

The production of fast fashion has an enormous negative impact on local communities, workers rights, and climate change.

For me, knitting and hand-dyeing yarn is a way of countering these effects and making fashion slow and sustainable. It doesn’t get much slower then knitting or crocheting your own clothes and accessories. Your own handcrafted wardrobe items can easily last you a lifetime.
