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.
Let us handle the hard part.

I really wanted Jamieson of Shetland Peacock 252 but your stock only had 1 and I needed 5. I had knit my swatch in Jamiesons and thought it knits full and fluffier. But I settled on J and S 142 clan blue. Not unhappy at all. 😊
Thanks for your reivew! We're glad to hear that you found a substitute J&S color that worked for you. We're happy to hear that you're not unhappy!

As with all Jamieson and Smith, you need to see them in person to get the combo right, I still need further colors to do what I am thinking of for the Underwood set. This is also helping me build my stash of wooly wool, I have also been building my stash of other wool yarn.
