John o’Groats Mill

It was so lovely to be asked to design a landscape scarf for the John O’Groats Mill Trust of the John O’Groats mill. The colours and textures of the mill are vast and I wanted to reflect this in the design of the scarf. I have therefore used a mixture of pure wools and thicknesses. Wools used include Scottish merino, Shetland, Scottish Lambswool, and a Lambswool and cotton mix.

The colours that stood out to me were the distinctive red from the windows, the white lime render, the mixed stone colours of cream and brown.

It’s a beautiful building and we are so lucky to have this building to visit and see locally.

The scarf is exclusive to the mill and therefore can only be purchased there. Sales are available from the 31st May when the mill is fully open to the public. If you would like one of these exclusive scarves contact:info@johnogroatsmill.com or visit the mill John O’Groats, KW1 4YR open 10-5 every day apart from Wednesdays. Last entry 4pm.

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Mother’s Day Scarves

We are delighted to introduce some new cotton designs for Mother’s day 2025.

The Dainty range Hand Woven Cotton Scarves

The Safran range Hand Woven Cotton Scarves

These scarves are all made from 100% cotton. They are thinner than our wool range at 14/16cm, but this gives the option to wrap a few times or have a loop knot. The scarves are perfect for both summer and winter wear.

Price £40

We are excited to share our new products, handwoven and eco-friendly scarfs.

Inspired by our surroundings we wanted to create a natural product to display this. We also wanted to make them in the location using natural materials sourced locally.

Our first design is called ‘Moss of Brough’. Blushful Earth is based in Brough and over looks the Moss of Brough. We love the autumnal/winter colours and wanted to create a scarf to using these colours.

This scarf is handwoven here in Brough using Shetland pure wool.

Please get in touch for more details.

At Blushful Earth we are always looking for new ways to reduce waste. Our latest idea is making socks from wool left over from other knitted products. Because of this no two pairs of socks are the same.

Most knitted garnments that we make end up with a slight surplus of wool, so this wool is then made into socks. But we are stretching the waste wool a little further too. With waste left over from the socks we are making knitted cards. These can be ordered via https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing

If you would like to order any of our socks please get in touch. Prices start at £8.00.
