Four balls of Jamieson and Smith jumper weight in some of my favourite of the mix colours and Sheepfold British wool Suffolk and Jacob Marl DK!

The colours of Jamieson and Smith are always speaking to me, but some of these heathery mixes practically shout, “buy me!”

Shetland wool sometimes gets a bad press for being coarser, but believe me your finished and washed garments will soften up a treat. I think there is enough here to please J&S enthusiasts, and to give newbies to Shetland wool and colour work a whetted appetite for more!

 

I bought some Jacob Suffolk Marl at Woolfest and quickly bought more. It is a lovely, slightly greasy yarn to work with and I adore the knitted fabric. It has a lovely, flumpy, floppy feel and I really loved knitting my Thrappled cowl with it.
