Soft Shetland, I mean Shetland Heather

Anne, the super helpful owner of She Ewe Knits, was nice enough to send me a small skein of Jamieson’s Soft Shetland to try out… I love this yarn! — it seems a little scratchy and hard at first, but then I swatched it up with the Na Craga swatch pattern, washed it and blocked it. The yarn blooms a little and softens up nicely while still being substantial. Here’s my little swatch:

Now, the only thing is picking a colour! Anne says that Jamieson is coming out with new colours for “Shetland Heather” (the new name for Soft Shetland) in the Fall, so I might wait until then to order the yarn. In the meantime, I’m going to order some BWA yarns for myself!

    Would you say it was appropriate for next-to-skin wear? Or still in Shetland Sweater Land?
