This 2 ply Jumper Weight yarn can be used in patterns calling for fingering weight. It feels crisp while knitting and softens with washing and wearing. This yarn can also be used in tandem with Shetland Supreme!
The yarn is in Oil for Machine Knitting but it is also suitable for hand knitting, you must ensure you wash your finished item to remove the spinning oil on the yarn. The yarn will bloom.
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
Please note that in cases where we do not have a current photo of the appropriate cone we have put a picture of the corresponding ball to allow you to see the colors. We will replace with photos of the cones as they become available.
I’ve been knitting for nearly two decades and I’ve knit with all kinds of wools but Shetland has become my favorite.
I'm knitting a colorwork sweater with a cone of dark navy, and I love it. Initially, it does feel a bit stringy and thin as a result of the spinning oil. Because of the dark (near to black) color of the yarn, I wound off some skeins of the yarn and washed in hot water to remove the spinning oil. Washing released quite a bit of the dye as well, but not in enough concentration to dye the light colors also being used in the sweater. When dried, the bloom of the yarn is remarkable.
Next time, I would not bother to wind off and wash as now I know what happens.
Having a cone of each of the basic colors in my wool pantry gives me so many options. Thanks, Woolly Thistle!
I’ve bought several neutral color cones recently to have a go-to stash when needed and these are an excellent value for the money. I also greatly appreciate the professionalism and speedy shipping from The Woolly Thistle.
