Shetland is a fine, traditional British wool celebrated for its soft handle, resilient fibre, and versatility for both knitter and felter.

With a staple length of approximately 10 cm and a micron count around 30, Shetland White offers a gentle springiness and loft ideal for fine knitted garments, delicate lace, and wearable felt pieces. Its soft, creamy-white colour provides a natural canvas—great for subtle dyeing or working in its undyed state.

This fibre has been carefully selected, washed, carded, and combed to ensure consistency and high quality, reflecting Wingham's commitment to hand‑picked British wools.

Features:
    Staple length around 10 cm with a soft, springy hand feel
    Approx. 30 micron—fine enough for next-to-skin use
    Ideal for knitting, lacework, needle and wet felting
    Natural creamy-white tone, perfect for dyeing or undyed projects

Not as white as the photograph

Bought this to finish off a project in which I was using the White Corriedale but ran out. I needed it to be a bright clean white like the Corriedale so went by the online picture but sadly it's very much a creamy white. It will be fine if you are planning to dye it but it cannot be used if you want a clean bright white nor in the project it was bought for.
