Keeping the Scottish love of wool alive and well is the Journal of Scottish Yarn. Very similar to the Shetland Wool Week Annual, each issue is full of tempting patterns and stories relating to Scotland and the wool industry. We're very excited to be the first yarn store in the Southern Hemisphere to offer the Journal for sale. The most recent edition is Issue 7 and we have copies available of the previous issues too.
Fancy an Advent Calendar this Christmas?
For the festive season we have come up with a yarn advent calendar as a wonderfully woolly way for you to combine two of our favourite things... Christmas and Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift wool!
The Jamieson's of Shetland 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar contains 12 parcels, individually wrapped and numbered from one to twelve, to be opened over the 12 days of Christmas.
Each parcel contains one 25 gram ball of Spindrift wool, in a colour related to Christmas, along with a treat. The treats vary from a knitting pattern for a Christmas project, a family recipe for a favourite Christmas treat, to knitting notions and of course one or two edible treats.
