JAMIESON & SMITH
2-PLY JUMPER WEIGHT
Traditional Shetland yarn, in a full palette of beautiful colours, commonly used for Fair-isle and colour-work knitting
Note that the “2-ply” in the name refers to the construction of the yarn, not its thickness – this yarn knits to a standard 4-ply (aka fingering weight) tension
105m/114yds per 25g ball
(Please note some older ball-bands of J&S state the yardage incorrectly as 115m/125yds. The above yardage is correct!)
