Shetland Worsted Yarn

Shetland sheep, those toy-sized ruminants bred to survive the harsh weather of Scotland's Shetland Islands, also thrive here in the northeastern US, where our climates make for different fleeces but equally wonderful wool! This batch is a beautiful representation of American Shetland at its finest: airy, bouncy, with lots of shine and surprising softness. These skeins will work up into the lightweight but warm, water-repellent winter garments that make this wool so popular.  About the yarn: 100% Shetland yarn, naturally colored (undyed) 2-ply light worsted weight approximately 100 grams/165 yards Pasture raised in New Hampshire, spun in New York Hand wash cool, lay flat to dry We make every effort to photograph yarn colors as accurately as possible, but individual screen resolutions may vary.  Note: The Ginger (mocha) yarn in this listing is a lighter brown than the Shetland chocolate listed here.
