Shetland Yarn
Eight different shades of Shetland yarn from Jaimieson's of Shetland and J & S, in seasonal colors. These are 100% Shetland woolen-spun yarns in fingering weight, and is the perfect choice for colorwork!
Projects
A small seasonal project, plus supplies and a printed pattern is included with every box. This project is designed to be completed in just a few evenings. Or, go for the larger pattern! A QR code links you to the pdf download and in-depth video tutorials.
Extra Notions
Some projects won't require extra supplies. So when that happens we'll include an extra goody... like needles, scissors, or stitch stoppers.
First Box Gift
You'll receive a pair of 32" long, size 3mm stainless steel circular needles with your initial subscription -- so you can start right away on your first project. A gift from us to you, in support of your colorwork journey.
Meet Catherine
I'm a knitwear designer and the founder of Sweet Meadow Knits. I decided to start the Yarn Club to make it easy and affordable for knitters (like you!) to build a real-life library of stranded colorwork yarns to choose from... in colors that work together harmoniously. You'll also get video tutorials specific to your project, and access to general tutorials to support you on your journey to color confidence.

The Shetland Yarn Club is not available for shipping outside the continental United States.
All of the yarn is 100% genuine Shetland wool from Shetland sheep raised on the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland. The processing mill is also located in Shetland.
The fibers in Shetland wool, although very fine, have been stretched during the spinning process and may feel prickly before washing. Blocking (soaking) your finished garment allows the fibers to relax and bloom, making the yarn feel much softer.
Yes you can! Just as with any knitting, you'll improve with practice. There are several different techniques to choose from which all give good results.
