♥️🌹 Red Red Rose — Limited edition ♥️🌹
Where flowers bloom and stories gather
Celebrate love, poetry and craft with Red Red Rose, a richly coloured 100% Shetland 4-ply hand-dyed yarn inspired by Scotland’s most beloved romantic poem. This evocative colourway blooms with deep velvety reds and soft petal tones, echoing heartfelt devotion “till a’ the seas gang dry,” and brings a warm, expressive character to every stitch.
Hand-dyed in Scotland by Thistle Yarns, each skein showcases delicate tonal variation and depth — giving your knitted or crocheted fabric a beautifully nuanced finish that reflects both tradition and artistic spirit.
Red Red Rose draws its palette from love’s most vivid hues — deep crimsons, soft blush highlights and layered tones that evoke roses in full bloom under Highland skies. Whether you’re crafting shawls, socks, cosy winter knits or heirloom accessories, this yarn brings warmth, romance, and subtle movement to every project.
Fibre: 100% Shetland wool — naturally warm, breathable, and full of character
Weight: 4-ply / sport-fine weight — superb for detailed work and drape
Hand-dyed in Scotland in small batches, offering rich, nuanced colour variation
Soft, balanced handle with excellent stitch definition, ideal for textured knits or smooth stockinette
Shetland wool’s natural strength and structure mean your finished pieces will feel robust yet comfortable, developing softness with wear and gentle washing.
Red Red Rose is perfect for:
Romantic shawls and wraps
Cosy socks and gloves
Lightweight cardigans and tops
Heirloom scarves and treasured accessories
For multi-skein projects, alternating skeins every few rows helps even out subtle dye variations and creates a beautifully cohesive fabric.
To preserve the quality and colour of your handmade pieces:
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild wool wash
Avoid agitation or wringing — Shetland wool is resilient but can felt with rough handling
Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight
Fold garments to store them — hanging can stretch delicate fibres
As your Shetland knit softens with use, it will develop even more character and warmth — a hallmark of natural wool.
Choose your packaging: Eco‑Light compostable bags with a QR story link, or upgrade to a gift‑ready Story Box with a printed story card with thoughtful extras designed for a beautiful unboxing
Each skein arrives with a thoughtfully written explanation offering insight into the heritage and inspiration woven into the colour-way.
Bundles come with carefully curated extras that reflect the spirit and storytelling at the heart of Thistle Yarns.
