New England Shetland Yarn Cones by Harrisville Designs

The distinctive look of Harrisville yarns is a result of care and attention to detail at every step of the spinning process. Harrisville yarns have always used Merino Cross wools from New Zealand and have recently added a much softer wool from Australia to create a better 'hand' for knitters. This fleece is dyed-in-the-wool to maximize brightness and fastness and then several colors are blended together for a delightful, slightly heathered look.
    100% Pure Wool New England Shetland Yarn is a fine, 2-ply fingering weight yarn available in 56 colors.  Available in 50g washed skeins for knitting or crochet as well as 1/2 lb. unwashed* cones for weaving, knitting or crochet, this gorgeous yarn is perfect for fair isle knitting and fine-gauge felting projects.
*When using coned yarns for knitting or crochet, be sure to wash your swatch before determining your gauge.  Harrisville yarns bloom beautifully when washed :-)
