Birlinn Heb-knits by Selkie Bay

Maritime motifs adorn many of Selkie Bay’s Heb-knits designs. Here a band of traditional Hebridean Birlinn ships and shields, worked on a background of white wool from a local Cheviot flock, form a visually striking pattern across the centre of this jumper.

Here on the Isle of Lewis Hebridean sheep are valued highly for their hardiness and calm temperament. They have a striking multi-horned appearance and their dense, black-brown fleece produces a fine, warm and weatherproof yarn.

Geansaidh Heb-knits by Selkie Bay

The warm and weatherproof qualities of Hebridean wool make it ideal for the traditional fishing Gansey. Geansaidh is knitted doubly thick with two strands of Hebridean wool making this jumper hardy enough for even the harshest Atlantic storms.

Muirfrost Heb-knits by Selkie Bay

The beautiful natural monochrome colours of the island’s sheep make for stunning, contrasting designs. Here the sparkle of the winter frost on the peat bogs of Barvas moor are captured in the star-like designs on this Muirfrost yoke
