Achness Shetland Blend DK

From our 2023 wool clip and that of a neighbouring flock, this beautifully soft and drapey white wool is a dream to work with. It has been worsted-spun in Yorkshire, giving it a slight shine and softness. 

We've named it Bog Cotton, after the plant which cloaks the Lammermuirs in white in May, giving the appearance of a late snow. This yarn has great stitch definition and is an ideal wool for knitting and weaving, and would make wraps, light sweaters and hats!
