Shetland is one of Harrisville Desigbns core yarns spun in 64 colors. Shetland yarn is not made from Shetland Wool. Shetland refers to the size of the yarn and not the fiber content. The wool is a blend of an Australian fine wool and a hearty New Zealand wool that gives the yarn it’s luster. It's been a workhorse yarn for years.

Shetland is spun more tightly on the spinning frames at Harrisville Designs (higher turns per inch) so it is highly durable and will wear better and better every year. These it is yarns are put up on 1/2 lb cones making it perfect for weaving and knitting or crochet. If you knit with the yarn you may want to wash the yarn first as the gauge may change after it is washed.

100% Virgin Wool.

Cones approx. 900 yds. per 1/2 lb. cone (unwashed)
