Shetland Humbug

Shetland Humbug is a naturally coloured fibre made from Shetland wool, featuring a mix of light and dark fibres that create its distinctive humbug pattern. The fibres are carefully prepared to retain this natural variation, resulting in a fibre with depth and visual interest straight from the fleece.

Shetland wool is valued for its softness, elasticity, and warmth, producing yarns with a light, springy handle. The natural colour contrast carries through into the spun yarn, giving subtle patterning without the need for dye.

This fibre is well suited to a range of fibrecrafts and is particularly popular for handspinning projects where natural colour and texture are important.
