About: Shetland sheep are a small statured heritage breed with origins on the Shetland islands. Shetland wool is an all-around wool being soft, strong, and warm. It is a durable wool making it a great choice for any piece that you want to hold up over time. And, it fluffs up beautifully after washing and continues to get better with time and wear. When I visited Shetland it was amazing to see garments made from this wool with some that were over 100 years old that still looked like new. If you’re a fan of vintage knitting, Fair Isle knitting, or lace work then this is a great yarn for that purpose.
