Shetland Supreme Lace Weight

A beautiful soft and silky 1 ply and 2 ply yarn. This yarn was developed with the Shetland Museum and Archives as part of the Shetland Fine Lace Project. The yarn is worsted spun from the natural undyed colours of purebred Shetland sheep to replicate the handspun yarn used in the finest Shetland lace items of the 1800s. The yarn has a distinct ‘Shetland halo’ while knitting, which calms to a floating haze after washing and finishing.
