Her idea was to create a 100% Scottish yarn, grown by Scottish sheep: a yarn full of character that reflected the distinctive qualities of the landscape in which she lives and works. Kate gave her yarn the name of one of her favourite West Highland mountains and created a rich palette of seven Scottish shades. and all the things that make Kate feel at home in the Scottish Highlands.
