Shade 4 (Moorit)

Our 2ply Jumper Weight yarn is spun from pure Shetland wool and traditionally used for knitting Fair Isle garments. It’s our flagship yarn – loved worldwide for its exceptional depth of colour and unrivalled spinning quality. Many have tried to imitate it, but nothing matches the real thing.

We stock the full palette of beautiful shades originally created by Jamieson & Smith, each with subtle tones perfect for stranded colourwork.
