Cock’s-Foot – Shetland Lace – Northampton Shear

£11.10

We’re delighted to have in stock the second batch of our most local wool yet: from flocks in Northamptonshire. This comes mostly from a flock of Shetlands in Braunston (with additions from neighbouring flocks); a major canal destination that can be reached by boat from our studio in one day! Flock owners Lynne and David have been breeding Shetland sheep for 17 years, focusing specifically on the quality of the wool, which is incredibly soft. The yarn has a heathered appearance, as many different coloured fleeces have gone into this delightfully local spin. This year we have 2 undyed, natural shades and 6 dyed.

Description

Shetland wool is often described as “kindly” wool because it’s soft enough for next-to-skin use. This has been woollen spun as a single-ply lace yarn that is lightweight and warm. Save this yarn for best – shawls, cowls, gloves and other accessories.

Before you buy…

We hand dye our yarn in small batches. The colour consistency between batches is very good but can’t be guaranteed, so we recommend that you buy enough skeins for your project. If your project uses more than one skein, we also recommend that you alternate / stripe the skeins throughout.

Due to the variations in monitors and browsers, the colour of our yarns and products may appear differently on different monitors. Monitors are not all calibrated equally and colour reproduction online is not precise.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our yarns and products that appear on the website, but cannot guarantee that what you see is an exact representation.
