Our Shetland sheep yarn is 100% wool and is produced exclusively by the flock at Shepherd’s Bay Farm. The yarn is sold in 3-ply sport weight skeins of 200 yards (approx. 2.2 – 2.5 ounces). Our yarns are available in the natural colors of the flock: white, tan, moorit/brown, charcoal gray, and black. Though most of our yarn is sold in its natural color, we also hand dye a small amount of our yarn here at the farm to produce an array of rich, outstanding hues reflecting nature’s diverse palette. Colors range from a crisp sky blue to earthy harvest tones to a deep, dark mulberry.
Our Shetland sheep’s wool yarn is mill-spun in small batches which cannot be exactly duplicated, so please try to order as much yarn as you need for your project at one time. Each skein is hand-dyed individually, so it is difficult to perfectly match specific colors at a later date.
