Each braid of Shetland is approximately 4 oz. Unless otherwise noted all fibre braids are between 3.8oz & 4.2oz.  

 

Shetland wool is fine, soft, and slightly crisp, with a lofty hand and excellent elasticity. It’s prized by spinners for its versatility—capable of producing everything from delicate laceweight to sturdy outerwear yarns. The fleece often has a well-defined crimp, aiding in easy drafting and giving finished yarns bounce and warmth. Shetland wool blends durability with a gentle feel, making it ideal for both traditional Fair Isle work and modern projects.
