Information about…
A beautifully soft totally British chunky yarn, commercially spun in Yorkshire from British Shetland sheep. White undyed chunky Shetland yarn is the natural colour of the yarn. It is a lovely soft white colour
What the yarn is great for
This is my go to yarn for nalbinding or weaving some chunky, textured items. It is also great to crochet or knit with.
Environmental Impact
If you are looking for an ethical product with a low carbon footprint, look no further.
The key points:
- British grown and processed yarn
- Soap is bio-degradable
- Dyed with homegrown organic plant dyes
Be aware
Once a specific colour is gone, it is gone! Due to the nature of natural dyes (the dye pigment varies with weather and time of day it is harvested), it is impossible to exactly colour match, although I can get close. Therefore, if you see something you love don’t hesitate to buy and make sure you order enough for your project.
The colours in the photos are the best match I can make, but there is variation between screens and devices.
If you see a colour you particularly like and there is insufficient available for you project, please contact me and I will provide you with a custom order for the amount you need. There may be a slight colour difference, but we can discuss this.
