Developed to mimic traditional Shetland yarn - it has all the softly mottled colour, subtle flecks and slightly rustic appearance we want from a good tweed, but without the itch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is spun from \u003cstrong\u003e100% RWS-certified Extra Fine Merino wool measuring just 19.5 microns\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn other words, it gives you plenty of character without the coarser feel traditionally associated with many heritage-style wool yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotland 2 is a fine, carded, two-ply yarn with a gently woolly surface and a beautifully nuanced palette. The colour is never completely flat: small contrasting flecks and shifts in tone give even the simplest knitting depth and interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e350 metres per 50g ball\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is light enough to create warm garments without excessive weight. Used on its own, it is ideal for fine sweaters, cardigans, colourwork, shawls and accessories. Its generous meterage also makes it a particularly useful yarn for holding together with another strand when you want to add warmth, colour and a subtle tweedy effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carded construction gives Scotland 2 a softer, airier character than a sleek worsted-spun yarn. It is not designed to look polished or perfectly uniform; its appeal lies in that gently fuzzy surface, the irregular flecks and the depth of colour they create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple stocking stitch allows the yarn's tweedy character to do the work, while colourwork takes on a rich, softly blended appearance. It is also a lovely choice for understated texture, although very intricate stitch patterns will naturally appear softer in this woollier construction. It's gorgeous for colourwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotland 2 belongs to Sesia's \u003cstrong\u003eBritish Emotion\u003c\/strong\u003e collection: a group of yarns inspired by traditional British woollen textiles, interpreted through Sesia's Italian spinning expertise. The result feels familiar but noticeably more refined: a proper tweed aesthetic made from genuinely fine Merino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFibre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% RWS Extra Fine Merino Wool (19.5 micron)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarded, two-ply tweed yarn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLace \/ light fingering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBall Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350m (383yds)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 - 3mm (US 1½ - 2½ )\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponsible Wool Standard (RWS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFollow the care instructions on the ball band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1963, \u003cstrong\u003eManifattura Sesia\u003c\/strong\u003e has spent more than 60 years developing and producing premium yarns in northern Italy for both hand knitters and the luxury knitwear industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Sesia yarn is conceived, developed and transformed entirely in Italy.
