Shetland Lite is an Organic Shetland Wool. Historically ever-popular Shetland wool has a well-earned reputation as a strong yet durable wool. This yarn is a loosely spun 2-ply perfect for both elegant shawls and garments.
I decided to knit a hat with 3 different colors to get a feel for how the yarn knits up and how the colors work together. I was impressed by the crisp color changes and how "sticky" the yarn is. What I mean there is that the yarn really grabs onto the other yarns and you barely have to weave in an end. When I was done knitting the hat I just wove in the ends a tiny bit (habit...I couldn't not do it) then left the ends about 1/3" long. After blocking I got my finger wet and agitated the ends so that they would felt into the fabric.
I have quite a bit leftover (there are 315 yards in 50 grams!!!) so I will be knitting some mittens and if I STILL have leftovers I'm thinking a cute Christmas ornament would be fun!!
If you are drawn to soft yarns, this one might be a little out of your comfort zone, but I HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot!
