A colourful world of Scottish Yarn

from Crafting Scotland - meet the hands and hearts behind Scottish Heritage Crafts · host Kerstin Devine and David Williamson

In this episode of Crafting Scotland, Kerstin sits down with David, a self-taught yarn dyer based just outside Pitlochry. David shares the story of how he first discovered the joy of dyeing yarn, from experimenting with his very first skein to opening his own studio, where visitors can drop by to “squish the yarn” and enjoy the colours. He talks about the inspirations behind his work, the creative process of dyeing, and what it means to welcome people into his space to experience Scottish craft first-hand.It’s a story of playfulness, experimentation, and connection – a reminder of how craft can spark both beauty and community.Aside: At the time of recording this episode back in August, David was about to attend the Aberfeldy Agricultural Show during the Highland Games there.
