Skua Blend is a combination of 100% British Wool devised by Marina the creator of Marina Skua. Working with a small family-run mill in Gloucestershire Marina combined the fibres of five different sheep breeds: Dorset Horn, Cheviot, Max Loaghtan, Teeswater and Jacobs. Utilising the different colours and characteristics of the breeds to create a fibre blend that is a joy to spin. Using the natural qualities that Marina herself loves in wool, producing a natural non-superwash fibre with a slightly rustic finish. 

Each batch of the dyed fibre is hand-dyed by Marina in her studio/home in Wiltshire, UK. Dyed using non toxic synthetic dyes. Marina prioritises sustainability, so she reuses her dye water as many times as possible and makes sure no dye run-off enters the water system.

Sold in 100g braids each batch that Marina dyes is unique and creates a magical depth of colour where it layers and interacts with the natural colour of the fibre. We also stock the Natural Undyed Skua Blend as well.
