Colours | Herring Girl Collect

Colours from Nature All Around

Because every Herring Girl product is hand knitted, each one is unique, as are our colours. Inspired by the unique light and colour palette that is ever changing in the Hebrides, our 4 main colours, Colours of the Croft, Shades of the Shore, Oceans of Blue and Seas of Green each pull together element of this palette to give colours to suit all moods and situations, while reflecting their Western Isles origins.

With The Herring Girl Collection, you can have a little bit of the Hebrides with you always.

Colours of the Croft

Hebridean life is synonymous with crofting today, as it was in the heyday of the Herring Girls. Colours of the croft blends the soft purple of heather with a range of greens from grass to ripe crops in autumn, intertwined with the blues of the sea and the sky; sunny or stormy.

Shades of the Shore

Where the sea and the land meet, the endless miles of the Hebridean shore-line froths with the water constantly crashing against the rocks. The almost pure white bubbles give way to mixed greys into the almost black of the deep water at the shoreline.

Oceans of Blue

The Western Isles are aptly named. Standing on the edge of Europe, if you do not bump into St.Kilda, there is nothing but Ocean all the way across to North America. The isn’t purely blue; it reflects the varying greys and lighter tones of the clouds as well as blue sky.

Seas of Green

Sometimes when you look at the sea, when it is shallower, the water takes on the colour of the green seaweed growing under the surface, blending vibrant greens and dark blues, Seas of Green reminds us of looking down on the sea as it shallows out in a narrow inlet.
