Shetland Aran Worsted Mussel Blue

Shetland Aran Worsted builds on the success of our Heritage range, offering a worsted spun, super-soft yarn in a heavier weight that’s ideal for cosy garments and accessories. With excellent stitch definition, it’s perfect for cables, textured knitting, and bold Fair Isle designs.

The colour palette includes classic dyed shades inspired by traditional Fair Isle pieces in the Shetland Museum, alongside five undyed natural shades drawn directly from the fleece. This is a dense, smooth yarn – we recommend ensuring you purchase enough for your full project, as it may knit up quicker than expected.
