Wild and Beautiful Wendy Lindsay

This rug measures 14 x 8 inches and was hooked on hessian. I used dyed wool flannel and skirt, along with some wool yarn for the dry sand and the white waves. It has been a while since I have actually sat down and hooked anything so I really enjoyed the whole process, including dying the wool for the sky. I think having a set time in which to finish the project was very good for me too – it really made me get on with it!
For me Wild and Beautiful is Sandwood Bay in Sutherland, on the far north-west coast of mainland Scotland. It is best known for its mile-long beach and Am Buachaille, a sea stack, and lies about 5 miles south of Cape Wrath.
