The Shore Street Hat is a Kate Davies design (Ravelry Link) and is both fun to knit and wear! The Shore Street sets have enough yarn for to knit the hat in all sizes (though there may not be much spare for the largest size). I chose to include a large pompom in all six colours for added fun!

I took my Shore Street/Sraid A’ Chladaich hat to its namesake in Islay (first photo)! Finding Sraid A’ Chladaich was straight forward but it took a while to find evidence that it was the correct street. I was delighted when we eventually spotted a sign! The views from Shore Street in Port Charlotte (on the Rhinns of Islay) are just beautiful. It looks out across Loch Indaal to the main part of Islay and beyond to the Paps of Jura.

  1. Black Isle Yarns are gently and minimally processed by The Border Mill from real animals who enjoy an outdoor life (in beautiful surroundings, lucky beasts!) – consequently you may find the odd bit of vegetation in your yarn, these are easy to remove as you knit and, if you’re lucky enough to find some, I hope will remind you of the special animals who have grown your yarn!
    2. I do my best to show the yarn colours as accurately as possible but please be aware that colours do vary from monitor to monitor
    3. Your yarn should be gently hand washed in cool water using pH neutral wool wash such as Eucalan or Soak. This may seem time consuming at first but should soon become an enjoyable part of working with a gently treated natural product.
    4. All my dyed colours have been thoroughly washed and rinsed however there may be a slight release of residual colour on washing – this shouldn’t change the overall yarn colour or alter other colours.
