Greetings from the Shetland Islands

Yöl Moorie by Gudrun Johnston
Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift

A wonderful project for stranded colorwork lovers, the Yöl Moorie Beret/Beanie by Gudrun Johnston is an engaging knit that is also a delight to wear. The kit features Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift for an authentic heritage wool experience. There are two style options in the pattern for a beret or traditional beanie.

Jamieson’s produces authentic yarns spun & dyed on the Shetland Islands from sheep that roam the beautiful islands. Located in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland, Shetland has a rich hand knitting tradition & is known for stranded colorwork.

Shetland Spindrift is a 2-ply, fingering (jumper) weight yarn that is ideal for stranded colorwork & knits into extremely warm, durable garments that may be passed down through generations.

We are offering a kit that has everything you need to knit the beret or hat.

Kit includes:

  • 5 balls x Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift (1 ball each 179 Buttermilk, 235 Grouse, 268 Dog Rose, 429 Old Gold, 556 Old Rose)
  • A QR code for a downloadable copy of the Yöl Moorie Beret/Beanie by Gudrun Johnston
  • Simply Shetland branded fabric, drawstring project bag

 *Kit requires size US 2 & 4, 16” circular + US 4 double point needles

**Needles are not included in kit
