Life in the Long Grass is an artisan yarn studio based in the rural landscapes of West Cork, Ireland. Founded in a restored century-old farmhouse, the brand is shaped by a love of colour, texture, and the unhurried rhythms of country living. Its name reflects the natural life of the wool it dyes — inspired by sheep roaming wild pastures, the changing seasons, and the colours of the surrounding Irish countryside.
The studio carefully selects ethical fibres from farms in Ireland and across the world, all committed to humane, mulesing-free practices, and hand-dyes them using a mix of non-toxic acid, low-impact fiber-reactive, and natural dyes. Their process honours slow living and sustainability: colours are double-set to prevent bleeding, water is reused to minimise waste, and packaging is made from recycled materials.
Life in the Long Grass hand-dyes every skein with meticulous care, translating the beauty, calm, and creative spirit of its surroundings into yarns that makers everywhere can enjoy — whether for shawls, socks, sweaters, or other cherished projects.
