About Life in The Long Grass

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.

Why you'll love Hand Dyed Yarn

Hand dyed yarn is extra special because every skein is one of a kind. There are no batches and no perfectly matched skeins. This is where you can see the artistic point of view of each dye house we work with. Some dyers are quite exact in their repeatable colours while others are quite artistic and splashy, valuing the creation of each skein rather than the closeness of the colourway.

We take great care to photograph our products accurately, and still the unique skeins in your order may look different to the photograph, and they may even look different to each other. If you are using hand dyed yarns and are concerned with dramatic colour changes, when changing from one skein to the next, alternate rows to blend in the new skein.

Care Instructions

We recommend that items made from 100% Superwash Wool be washed by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Never wring or twist woollen pieces when washing.
Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press moisture out. Then lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear as it is a natural, breathable product. When you can see (or, rarely, smell) that a woollen item is in need of washing, follow the above instructions

You may ask why we suggest hand washing superwash knits. While you should be able to wash superwash knits in a more conventional way, we believe that superwash wool benefits from gentle care, as it will extend the life of your precious hand knit items!
