BY MAKING A PURCHASE ...

YOU will become a link in supporting not only our organic farm and weaving mill, but also the spectrum of life in between ...

Firstly, the continuity of knowledge passed down from generations of weavers, supporting the apprenticeship system giving young folk an opportunity.

Secondly, we pay a fair price to Hebridean and Shetland sheep breeders for their wool, encouraging them to go organic and look after their unique environments by using native breeds of sheep. Your purchase supports this.

It will also support the micro-organisms that are not visible but are an essential component of the living soil – that grows good grass – and wild flowers that feed a myriad of insects – which in turn feed the birds and butterflies – these native herbs feed the cattle and sheep, that in their turn grow good meat and wool from which we are fed and clothed – and the animals dung the living earth that feeds the micro-organisms...

And so the chain goes on ...

All the foregoing and more is woven into the fabric that is Ardalanish, of which you are an important link !
