This yarn is Shetland in a skein—wild, dramatic, and rooted in place. The Croft blends rich, natural hues inspired by the rugged landscapes of the Shetland Islands, with a soft hand and a light twist that makes it beautifully tactile.
Warm and strong, it’s perfect for sweaters, hats, and blankets, and it really shines in cables and textured patterns where you want every stitch to pop. Available in four striking colorways plus a classic undyed ecru, it’s a versatile yarn that connects tradition with modern making.
Created in collaboration with Jamieson & Smith, The Croft not only knits up beautifully but also supports the cultural and economic heritage of the Shetland Islands.
The Croft: rugged beauty, soft strength, and a story in every stitch.
