This authentic British Shetland wool is fine and soft. It is ok for next to skin wear but not as soft as our Merino and may not be soft enough for baby. It can be handspun in a very fine lace weight or up to a worsted weight for a bulky but light weight knit.

The Shetland is a small sheep originating in the Shetland Isles. Shetlands produce a fine wool in numerous shades of natural colours. The Shetland sheep is hardy, adaptable and long-lived. Their wool has been used, traditionally, in fine shawls and Fair Isle knitting patterns.
