I love this wool. It is the colour of the autumn hillside here in Rannoch. Very prompt delivery. Thank you.

I adore this yarn, both to admire and to knit with. I bought 2 skeins of West Yorkshire Spinner Croft Shetland Tweed in color mossbank some where and later decided I needed a tunic sweater for an upcoming trip to the UK (after 2 years of Covid absence). This gorgeous yarn, for me, is Scotland- the peat fields, lichen, Trotternish ridge. I am going to step up the pace to have this done in time, but it will surely be my favorite for cold autumn/winter days.

While the wool is excellent I did have trouble dealing with them direst

I love working with this yarn. It is substantial but soft and the stitch definition for Aran patterns is superb. I have just completed a sweater for my husband, which has an Aran panel on the front while the back and sleeves are plain stocking stitch. I have also made two cushion covers in this yarn, each with a different Aran pattern. And finally, I have just started to make myself a neck warmer with leftover wool - a work in progress!

Wool is excellent quality. No knots in any of the hanks. Each hank goes a long way. Colours beautiful. Knitted the jumper in 3 different colours
Although quite expensive, I would use this again.

This yarn is an absolute brilliant yarn for doing cable work. Soft to touch and wear. 762 Clousta colour is awsome.

This is a fabulous yarn to use. Produced by my 'go to' business for yarn. Wool from Shetland, spun in Yorkshire. What more could you want?

After knitting a jumper for my husband using West Yorkdhire Spinners The Croft Aran, I decided to knit a cardigan for myself using another pattern from their Shetland Tweed pattern book. Seafield is a rich teal colour, soft and easy to knit. I'm very pleased with the outcome!

Beautiful yarn, lovely colours and knits up well.

Wonderful wool to knit and the colour mix is suitable for all ages.

The background of the moss color with the speckles of orange and cobalt blue make this a very fun yarn and versatile for wearing with many different colors. I washed the yarn in Eucalen and it was soft yet had strength and did not lose shape.
