The Scottish Highlands - a vast landscape with undulating coastline, wild expanses, rugged mountains and islands, rushing rivers, beautiful lakes, endless mores and green valleys. Hidden secrets and the full fascination only open up to those who set out to discover the wild, unspoiled soul of Scotland with their own eyes. The Highlands are fascinating me over and over again and setting no limits to my imagination.

The effects in my Highland Heather are paying homage to that wonderful nature - a little green for the valleys, a little pink for the heather and not to forget the little bumblebees flying around in one of the lace parts. The diversity of the Scottish landscape symbolized by different yarns and patterns. For me, designing and knitting this scarf was again a little journey into the nature and stunning scenery of Scotland.
