Heritage Stitches

For the ultimate snuggly yet hard-wearing yarn to keep the chills at bay, The Croft Shetland Tweed from West Yorkshire Spinners is at the top of our autumn wishlist. Produced from natural and sustainable 100% Shetland Island wool, this aran yarn comes in eight beautiful heathered colours with different shaded threads running through them – from mauves and stone greys, to lake-deep aquas and mossy greens – all inspired by the age-old tradition of crofting in the Shetland landscape. We’re thinking textured, rugged sweaters, big-buttoned cardigans, soft wrist warmers and adventures outside (with tea and cake afterwards, of course).
