Description

Using renowned sheep farmer Joyce Campbell's Cheviot wool, we have created two throws that reflect her farmed landscape. Joyce works hard to produce top quality North Country Cheviots, but also to protect and enhance the land at Armadale Farm.

Armadale Farm is a 6,000 acre hill farm in Sutherland Scotland and having visited and taken photos of the heather and peat, these colours were used in the design of the tweed and throws. Another feature on the farm is a broch, a kind of Iron Age roundhouse found only in Scotland, so elements from this feature were also used in the designs by textile designer Louise Dixon.

Armadale Farm is within The Flow Country which has just been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Flow Country, is a vast blanket bog, a type of habitat that is very rare but a crucial defence against climate change as it stores more carbon than all of the UK’s forests and woodlands combined. 

Details

The throws are approx. 2 metres by 1.5 metres.
