Ardalanish Farm is set in a beautiful coastline of white sands and turquoise seas, fringed with flowering machair. Here you will find the native Hebridean sheep that provide much of the wool for the beautiful tweeds produced by Isle of Mull Weavers, located in the heart of the farm.
At Ardalanish, we weave beautiful ethical tweeds and woollen goods on traditional Dobcross looms, lovingly restored after their move from Torosay in 2003. We focus on continuing to build an ethical and sustainable business using natural wool from our own Hebridean sheep, as well as fleeces sourced from other UK native breeds.
The colours of the tweeds are beautiful earthy shades from the wool; black and charcoal brown, fawn, silver grey and creamy white, while natural plant dyes add brighter colours to the weave.
Our on-site mill shop is open year-round and welcomes visitors to explore a wide selection of woven goods. You’ll find beautifully crafted blankets, throws, shawls, wraps, and scarves—each woven here at Ardalanish—alongside our full range of tweeds, perfect for coats, jackets, skirts, trousers, and soft furnishings. We also offer natural-coloured knitting yarns, including our Hebridean wool from our own sheep.
The shop features jumpers, bags, hats, and other unique items made from our own yarn or tweed, along with in house and locally tailored garments. You’ll also find our own Highland beef and mature Hebridean lamb, plus Scottish ice cream and locally baked biscuits.
Visitors are warmly invited to come in and browse. You can also watch our Working Looms in action (Monday to Friday) You can also visit our dye garden, where we grow some of the plants for making our other natural colours.
