Pure Shetland 4-ply Moorit undyed knitting yarn

Shetland fleece can be the finest of British breed wools and we select the finest we can find, so these yarns are particularly soft.

Shetlands also come in many natural colours and we blend to produce six basic slightly heathered shades in 4-ply and Double Knitting weights. They are normally in 50g balls, unless otherwise described on the Details tab on each individual product page.

The colours range from white, through creams, fawns to mid (moorit) and deep browns and also come in greys (katmogit pale to darker) and almost black. 

For the 4-ply, to add to the interest of colour work, we occasionally offer a selection of gorgeous over-dyed shades. The colours can be worked together with the naturals to create traditional Fair-isle patterns or on their own for more modern but subtle styles.

For more detailed information on TENSION/GAUGE, please refer to the 4-ply and finer, 5-ply guernsey yarns, Double Knitting, Aran and Chunky pages which give data on needles and swatches.
