Daughter of a Shepherd - Shetland Sport
Limited edition run of the most incredible, natural undyed Shetland wool.
Crafted from rich Shetland fleece and spun in Yorkshire, this 2ply sport weight yarn delivers a beautifully airy fabric with excellent stitch clarity. Its deep, luxurious brown tone—almost black—feels wonderfully soft against the skin, making it ideal for creating lightweight layers and accessories that don't compromise on warmth. The versatile weight pairs beautifully with complementary shades for striking colourwork designs.
Rachel's passion for the importance of provenance, collaborating with both shepherds, mills, designers and weavers has been a wonder to watch unfold over the last few years. We love her, her yarn and her story. See more of her story on our youtube channel as well as our Instagram TV channel.
