Soft, strong, and steeped in heritage—The Croft DK celebrates the color, culture, and wild beauty of the Shetland Isles. Spun from high-quality, sustainable Shetland fleece in partnership with Jamieson & Smith, this yarn is as practical as it is inspiring.
With its balanced DK weight, it’s a true all-rounder: smooth in plain stocking stitch, crisp in textured patterns, and absolutely stunning in cables. Warm enough for sweaters and cardigans, versatile enough for accessories, and durable enough to wear again and again.
The palette ranges from natural undyed shades to vibrant brights, rustic tweeds, and rich heathered tones—all echoing the landscapes, villages, and traditions of Shetland.
The Croft DK: modern knitting rooted in Shetland tradition.
