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.
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.
