Shetland sheep, those toy-sized ruminants bred to survive the harsh weather of Scotland's Shetland Islands, also thrive here in the northeastern US, where the climates make for different fleeces but equally wonderful wool! This batch is a beautiful representation of American Shetland at its finest: airy, bouncy, with lots of shine and surprising softness. These skeins will work up into the lightweight but warm, water-repellent winter garments that make this wool so popular. 

About the yarn:

  • 100% Shetland, naturally colored (undyed)
  • 2-ply light worsted weight
  • approximately 100 grams/180 yards
  • Hand wash cool; lay flat to dry

We make every effort to photograph yarn colors as accurately as possible, but individual screen resolutions may vary. 

Note: this is a darker chocolate color than the Shetland yarn listed here! See last photo to compare.

About the farm:

Veterinarian Meg and her family have been raising Shetlands on Five Sisters Farm in New Hampshire since 2007. She says, "We're captivated by their friendly and quirky personalities, as well as their beautiful fleeces. Our sheep have taught us life lessons and provided laughs along the way. The lambs born on the farm are raised by our five girls and travel to compete in local and national 4-H shows. We love Shetlands and you will too!"
