We make beautiful wool and hand knitting patterns. www.digilpin.com/
Designing and creating yarns since 1983 starting from a small studio on the Isle of Skye.
Each of our patterns is inspired by stories and folklore, fused with historic stitches and techniques. We rework and re-imagine techniques to create pieces with texture, depth and knitterly details that are a pleasure to make, to gift and to wear.
We are dedicated to wool. Every hank of yarn is sourced from Scottish suppliers. Our own range of Lalland Lambswool is spun in a mill that has produced yarns for over a century, just a short trip from the studio in Fife. Our new Bell Wether Scottish Merino is from a regenerative, organic farm in Fife. We have partnered with Laxtons Mill in Yorkshire to spin and dye.
Di and Sheila will be appearing as judges on the upcoming Game of Wool on Channel 4 with Tom Daley as presenter!
