Shetland wool is often described as “kindly” wool because it’s soft enough for next-to-skin use. This has been woollen spun as a bouncy 4-ply yarn that is lightweight and warm. Use this yarn for comfy garments and accessories – jumpers, hats, mittens, shawls, and cowls. This yarn will felt if you want it to, which makes it an excellent candidate for stranded colourwork and even steeking… if you’re brave enough!
Before you buy…
We hand dye our yarn in small batches. The colour consistency between batches is very good but can’t be guaranteed, so we recommend that you buy enough skeins for your project. If your project uses more than one skein, we also recommend that you alternate / stripe the skeins throughout.
Due to the variations in monitors and browsers, the colour of our yarns and products may appear differently on different monitors. Monitors are not all calibrated equally and colour reproduction online is not precise.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our yarns and products that appear on the website, but cannot guarantee that what you see is an exact representation.
