Shetland is the fingering weight complement to Highland’s worsted weight goodness. Both are tweedy, rustic beauties in the Harrisville, New Hampshire spirit of Scotland's traditional woolen spun yarns. Available in 39 gorgeous colors, Shetland is ideal for colorwork, light sweaters, and endless accessories. Engineered to wear better with every wash, after years of wear, you’ll understand Shetland’s world-wide appeal! PLEASE NOTE Harrisville clarifies that "This yarn is not made from Shetland Wool. Rather, the name 'Shetland' refers to the size of the yarn and not the fiber content. The wool is a blend of an Australian fine wool and a hearty New Zealand wool that gives the yarn its luster."
