Harrisville Designs Shetland Wool Cones (227g)
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.
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.
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.
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.
