What do you like about Shetland wool?

@LindaOfWindyOaks 3 жыл бұрын

Shetland is my very favorite wool, which is why I raise the breed! I love how soft and fluffy the fleece is. It's so versatile, too!

Neat. I wear a lot of thrifted cashmere, angora, and wool. I recently came across a Shetland wool sweater and had never heard of it before. Thanks for the info!

Great Video. Would 6ply Shetland wool be considered thick ?

Never used it, but would love to give it a try. I hear that it is pretty soft.

I did not know anything until i tried to buy a good quality sweater. An expensive one was made of shetland wool. Before that I thought Geelong lamb wool is the warmest.could you be able to compare the two? Geelong wool and shetland wool?

Because it’s woollen spun, it is lightweight and warm, great for sweaters. Not good for socks because it has little tensile strength and can’t cope with abrasion. Because the slightly hairy wool clings to itself, it is great for garments that require steeks, and it felts well. I don’t find it soft as I’m too accustomed to Merino.

Well im scottish close to Orkney by 22 miles. Never tried the wool though as. Sllergic to eool. I use dynthetic snd cotton yarn. Does keep you warmer though real wool from what i hear. How do they get the wool from their neck? That be terrifying for dheep to remove.
