I find the colours of the landscape and the sea around Skye so inspiring and find the same colours are encapsulated in these amazing seaweeds and shells.
I took the photos above at Claigan Coral Beach near Dunvegan. There are no sandy beaches on Skye due to the geology but this coral beach is just beautiful. It was a wild and wet day when we visited so no fabulous photos but these close ups capture the beautiful colours and textures to be found on the shore.
I bought these yarns from The Handspinner Having Fun in Broadford. That's the shop I blogged about last year and Theo very kindly gave me a little freebie for mentioning his shop online.
I chose these colours as they include all the shades of sky, sea, grass, heather, hills and seaweed.
Can't wait to get started with them.

I also picked up this great Italian scarf in the charity shop in Portree. Doesn't it just look like rippling waves. I wonder if I can bring myself to cut it up!
