Shetland wool is my go-to for the beanies that are so fun to make. Wonderful colorsl

Great Yarn!
Two of my goals this year were to learn fair Isle knitting and to go to the Shetland Islands. I was able to do the first with the help of this great yarn. It isn't slippery at all so it stays on the needles which is very helpful when switching colors. Which reminds me, there are so many colors it is impossible not to find the ones that will make your project special.
