After hosting a trunk show of Jaimeson’s Shetland Spindrift earlier this fall, we are simply delighted to announce that Spindrift is coming to Space to stay! We are so excited that you all loved it so much.
A 2-ply yarn equivalent to a traditional 4-ply, Spindrift is ideal for stranded color work. Spindrift is produced in a rainbow of hues and 25 gram skeins, making it easy to gather the perfect pallet for your next fair isle project. Spindrift’s two-ply construction makes it lightweight and soft, perfect for trapping warmth.
