West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran.
Inspired by the landscape, culture and rich heritage of the Shetland Islands The Croft Aran is produced in association with Jamieson & Smith of Shetland and using 100% British Shetland fleece. The yarn has a soft, silky handle, as well as plenty of warmth and strength for garments, accessories and more.
The high levels of crimp and wave in the fleece makes it an ideal hand knitting yarn. The Croft has a soft and silky handle that retains a lot of durability.
West Yorkshire Spinners wanted to stay true to the roots of The Croft and named each of the solid and tweeds shades after a location on the Shetland Islands.
Crofting is integral to the landscape, cultural heritage and social economy of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. It bonds people and places in a unique way, preserving livelihoods and age-old traditions.
The Croft Aran is perfect for creating textures and cables for sweaters, accessories and blankets that will stand the test of time.
