BC Garn
Bio Shetland
Bio Shetland is a fingering weight, 100% wool yarn. It comes in a beautiful range of melange colours that are perfect for knitting on their own or pairing together for stranded or fair-isle knitting projects. Soft and fluffy, Bio Shetland is a woolen-spun yarn, which makes it perfect for cozy garments guaranteed to keep you warm all year long. Like many of the BC Garn range, Bio Shetland is 100% organic GOTS certified product, making it an ethical and sustainable yarn.
We’re already using Bio Shetland to make sweaters, vests, accessories, hats, and shawls. Bio Shetland would be an excellent choice for lace, stranded, and cabled projects - just about anything!
