Description
We've teamed up with Jamieson & Smith to bring this woollen spun, completely undyed, 100% Shetland Wool, Shetland Supreme Jumper Weight in hank form for dyers!

Shetland wool is an incredibly natural and sustainable fibre, and is world renowned for its fineness and warmth. Shetland Sheep graze on the islands' hills and beaches eating wild heather and seaweed. This diet, along with the not-so-great weather, makes Shetland wool soft, strong and warm.

This yarn is supplied with the natural spinning oils left in, so it will need to be washed or scoured before dyeing.
