Finding a wool yarn that offers both character and reliability can be a challenge, especially for weaving. Harrisville Designs Shetland Wool Cones offer a tightly spun, woollen yarn with a timeless texture and a palette of over 64 colours. It’s durable, softens with use, and weaves like a dream.

DESCRIPTION
There’s a certain disappointment that comes with yarn that doesn’t quite deliver, maybe it pills too quickly, feels flat in hand, or doesn’t hold its shape after finishing. Especially when you’ve put in hours at the loom or needles, the last thing you want is a project that lacks longevity or depth.
Harrisville Designs' Shetland Wool Cones offer a more satisfying experience. Though not made from traditional Shetland fibre, this yarn blends fine Australian wool with durable New Zealand wool, spun tightly on custom frames to ensure it weaves cleanly and wears beautifully. It starts with a crisp feel but softens gently over time, giving your finished pieces both resilience and richness. Whether you're working on scarves, yardage, or detailed colourwork, it provides the control and texture you need.
And once you’ve worked with it, you’ll feel the difference. Your hands will remember the rhythm, your stitches will hold their shape, and the fabric you create will carry not just your effort, but a quiet, enduring quality. It’s a yarn you can come back to again and again, one that grows better with time, just like your skills.

Is Harrisville Shetland yarn suitable for both knitting and weaving?
Yes, this yarn is versatile and can be used for knitting, weaving, and crochet. It is spun tightly, making it strong enough for warp in weaving while still being soft enough for knitted or crocheted garments and accessories. We do recommend purchasing yarn in skein form for knitting as it has been prewashed and is softer and has already bloomed a little.
Does the yarn contain spinning oils?
Yes, like many coned weaving yarns, it may contain residual spinning oils to aid in the manufacturing process. Washing your finished project after knitting or weaving removes these oils and allows the yarn to bloom.
How does the yarn's texture change after washing?
After washing, the yarn will bloom and become loftier and softer, giving your fabric a fuller appearance and improving drape. It may also slightly felt together, which is useful in fulling woven projects.
What is the recommended sett for weaving with this yarn?
The recommended sett depends on the weave structure. A sett of 10–12 ends per inch (epi) is suggested for plain weave, while a closer sett (up to 15 epi) may be used for twill patterns or denser fabrics.
Is this yarn made from Shetland wool?
No, despite its name, this yarn is not true Shetland wool. It is a blend of fine Australian and New Zealand wool. The term "Shetland" refers to the yarn weight and traditional woolen spinning style rather than the fiber source.
How does the yarn's durability change over time?
The yarn is spun tightly for durability, meaning it will wear well over time. As it is used and washed, it softens further, making garments and textiles more comfortable without losing their shape.
What is the yardage per cone?
Each 227g (1/2 lb) cone contains approximately 900 yards of woolen-spun yarn. This provides ample yardage for sweaters, scarves, woven fabric, and stranded colorwork knitting projects.
How should I care for items made with this yarn?
Hand washing in warm water with mild wool detergent is recommended. Avoid agitation to prevent felting. Lay the item flat to dry, reshaping as necessary.
Does the yarn felt well?
Yes! This yarn felts beautifully, making it ideal for felted bags, hats, and slippers. It also fulls well in woven fabric, creating a softer, denser texture.
