Available in the full palette of beautiful shades originally designed by Jamieson and Smith, their flagship yarn cannot be imitated in terms of depth of color and spinning quality.

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!
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
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.
