2005 Shetland Black

Shetland Supreme Jumper Weight is a completely undyed range of 100% Real Shetland Wool, woollen spun and available in a selection of nine natural fleece shades. Some are straight from the sheep, while others are carefully blended to create subtle, earthy tones true to Shetland’s native colour palette.

This yarn pairs beautifully with our dyed Jumper Weight range. Although it may appear slightly thicker, this is due to the minimal processing – the yarn retains an open, airy structure that softens and blooms with washing. Because it is undyed, we strongly recommend purchasing enough for your full project at once, as natural shade variations can occur between batches.

Natural Shade Note

Shade 2005 – Shetland Black is a natural, very dark brown — not a dyed or true black. As with all undyed yarns, slight shade differences are natural and part of the yarn’s unique character.
