Jamieson's Spindrift is a warm and tweedy 2 - ply yarn that's a must - have for your stash! With an amazing palette of 225 colors, it's perfect for crochet colorwork and classic Fair Isle knitting. Made from 100% Shetland Wool from the Shetland Islands of Scotland, each ball contains 115 yards of this homely yarn. Jamieson's, a five - generation family - owned business, uses specialized wool from native Shetland sheep to create unique and sturdy fibers.

This Jamieson's Spindrift yarn is great for both crochet and knitting. For crochet, start by choosing your favorite hook size according to the tension you like. You can use it to create beautiful colorwork patterns right from the start. When knitting, pick your needles and start with a simple stitch like garter or stockinette to get the feel of the yarn. For Fair Isle knitting, it's perfect as you can use multiple colors easily. As it's made of 100% Shetland wool, it's quite soft but can also get a bit dirty. Hand - wash it in cool water with a mild wool detergent. Avoid wringing it out; instead, gently press out the excess water. Lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Also, store it in a dry place away from moths to keep it in good condition.
