Shetland Aran Yarn

Formerly known as "Brora Soft Spun", we have re-released this yarn range in our 2009 collection under the name "Shetland Aran" to give a more recognisable name for those fibre lovers who are used to this heavier weight yarn. Used in the production of Fisherman's and Aran sweaters, work-boot and hiking socks, chunkier garments and heavier winter knits, this yarn is luxurious and bouncy. It retains the traditional elements of other Shetland yarns such as giving crisp stitch definition, and providing natural warmth and insulation during colder weather.
