A few of you may have heard whisperings over the last few months about something exciting on the way from Jamieson & Smith.
We are so happy to finally let you all in on the secret and launch our
Shetland Heritage Naturals...
These undyed shades are an extension to our
Shetland Heritage range which is an incredibly smooth and strong worsted spun 100% Real Shetland yarn!
The Shetland Heritage Naturals are a lovely variation to our woollen spun 2ply Jumper Weight for use in Fair Isle or other colourwork. Due to the worsted spinning process they are slightly lighter in weight meaning they are also suitable for lace knitting.
Similar to our Supreme Lace yarns the Heritage Naturals show off beautifully the natural tones of our islands' native sheep.
Technical info:
25g, 110m/120yds, 2.8nm worsted
Tension: 30 sts and 32 rows = 10cm/4in over Fair Isle pattern using 3mm needles
