Welcome

Joe and Flora are brother and sister, and they grew up on Mull.

Flora studied fashion design at Edinburgh College of Art, Joe studied business, and together they make knitwear at their studio in Salen, in the middle of the island.

Everything is made in small batches from natural wool: scarves, beanies, handwarmers, shawls, socks and baby blankets. The scarves are superfine lambswool, and the designs take their names and their colours from Mull, so you’ll find an Eorsa and a Benmore on the shelf.

The studio, the shop and a coffee shop share one building, which means you can see where the knitwear is made, try it on and sit down with a coffee afterwards. Salen is on the road between Craignure and Tobermory, so it’s an easy stop on the way up the island. It’s open Monday to Saturday.
