The Croft Shetland Tweed / WYSpinners

West Yorkshire Spinners 100% Shetland Island wool,  a fibre celebrated for its fineness, warmth and strength. 
The high levels of crimp and wave in the fleece make it ideal for a hand knitting yarn. The Croft has a soft and silky handle that retains a lot of durability particularly suited to the tweed collection.
Crofting is integral to the landscape, cultural heritage and social economy of the Shetland Islands. It bonds people and places in a unique way, preserving livelihoods and age old traditions. The Croft Shetland Tweed's unique tweed effect was the result of West Yorkshire Spinners' desire to be different and produce a yarn worthy of such a prestigious fibre.
