Eas Fors Isle of Mull Knitwear is a design-led, ethical brand that creates beautiful knitwear and accessories directly on the remote Isle of Mull. Co-founded by island-raised siblings Joe and Flora McFadden, the business is committed to slow fashion principles, ensuring every step—from design concept to the finished, hand-finished garment—takes place on Mull. The brand name itself is shared with a magnificent local waterfall, reflecting the wild, natural inspiration of the Hebridean islands.
The knitwear collection, which includes scarves, shawls, hats, and handwarmers, is crafted exclusively from high-quality, superfine Scottish lambswool, ethically sourced and spun on the banks of Loch Leven. Pieces are machine knitted and hand-finished in small, limited quantities, ensuring quality and sustainability over mass production. The designs often feature subtle textures and natural colourways inspired by the local environment, such as seaweed, catkins, and granite.
As an online-focused brand, Eas Fors Isle of Mull Knitwear primarily sells directly through its website, though pieces are also available via The Mull and Iona Shop, a collective marketplace co-founded by Joe. The company offers UK and international shipping, and provides free local delivery for those visiting or staying on Mull. They operate with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility, contributing a percentage of each sale to tree planting projects.
