Jamieson & Smith Shetland Heritage Yarn

Jamieson & Smith Shetland Heritage is a worsted-spun yarn recreating the original ‘wursit’ handspun used in historic Fair Isle garments, developed in collaboration with Shetland Museum and Archives, Shetland Amenity Trust, and Curtis Wool Direct. Combed tops give a soft feel and smooth finish — slightly finer than standard 4ply, delivering the colour definition and pattern complexity of 19th-century Fair Isle. A living piece of Shetland textile history.

A wide range of J&S patterns is available on Ravelry.
