Nm 2/8000 • Approx. 400m per 100g
100% Shetland Wool Cone Yarn is a traditional woollen-spun yarn made from 100% pure Shetland wool, valued for its exceptional warmth, lightness, and natural durability. Spun in a 2/8000 Nm construction (approximately 400 m per 100 g), it is ideal for creating lightweight garments with excellent insulation and a beautifully balanced drape.
The woollen-spun structure traps air within the yarn, producing fabrics that are warm without feeling heavy. The yarn has a soft yet characterful handle that blooms after washing, resulting in a fuller, more cohesive fabric while retaining excellent stitch definition. It is particularly well suited to Fair Isle colourwork, textured stitches, cables, and delicate lace, making it a versatile choice for both traditional and contemporary knitting.
Perfect for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, mittens, and other accessories, this Shetland wool yarn offers the timeless qualities that have made Shetland fibres a favourite among knitters for generations. Supplied on a cone, it is an excellent option for hand knitting, machine knitting, weaving, and larger projects requiring continuous lengths of yarn.
