New Book Alert! Discover the beauty of Shetland through Wirsit Inspo Volume 3 from Jamieson & Smith.

Originally inspired by J&S's beloved social media series, the Wirsit series pairs stunning seasonal photography of the Shetland landscape with matching shades of iconic Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight yarn. The result is a unique source of colorwork inspiration that celebrates the natural connection between Shetland wool and the place it comes from.

Organized by season, Wirsit Volume 3 is perfect for knitters seeking fresh color palette ideas for Fair Isle knitting, sweaters, cardigans, hats, and other heirloom projects. Let the colors of Shetland inspire your next cast-on with authentic Shetland wool and timeless knitting traditions.

Long time Thistlers will know what time of the year it is but let’s have a guessing game.

Can you tell us what sneak peak this was for in today’s newsletter? (You can sign up to receive our newsletters on our website. It is packed with news, inspiration, and of course yarn)

Or if you’re a long time Thistler can you tell us what you made with the contents of one of these from a previous year? (TRICKY!)

We will show you more on Friday, June 5th!

You’ve heard of yarn by the hank, or the ball, or the skein… but what about by the cone?

We carry 3 different types of yarn by the cone here at the Woolly Thistle. Cones are great value, you have less ends to weave in, and are great conversation starters.

Have you knit with a cone? Let us know what you made in the comments!

As the temperature heats up at The Woolly Thistle we reach for yarns that have some cotton or linen content. If your fingers haven't experienced these 5 yarns it might be a good time to try them!
