100% Virgin Shetland Wool Yarn

Popular weaving, knitting, and plying yarn. Durable and well wearing, this is excellent for use as warp or weft. Nice large cone for those who don't want to take the time to wind balls. Generous yardage so you'll have fewer ends to deal with when your project is finished. I used the manufacturer's photos where I felt they were the most accurate and my own where I thought they needed improvement. My camera really picks up the two toned nature of this yarn but it's subtler, not as obvious as in the pictures. This Shetland yarn is a slightly heavier than a Fingering but can be used in patterns calling for Worsted or Fingering. 900 Yards per cone (unwashed). Sett 8 - 10 EPI. 6-5 stitches per inch, US #2 – 4 needle This yarn is also wonderful when felted after weaving or knitting. Use a pin loom to make squares that you then stitch together and felt with soap & water and a little rubbing. Beautiful. Colors available: Cornflower: Softly hued earthy blue, a cooling color versatile in
