🧡💛🩷 Lerwick Sunset - limited edition 🧡💛🩷
A blaze of golden yellow, ember, rose, and Shetland shadow.
Lerwick Sunset evokes the fiery glow of golden hour over Shetland’s harbour with a warm blend of golden yellow, ember, rose and soft violet shadows. Hand-dyed in micro batches by Thistle Yarns in Scotland, this 100% Shetland 4-ply yarn brings both natural fibre warmth and artistic colour depth to every project, creating fabric that feels rich, comfortable and full of landscape-inspired story.
Ideal for shawls, socks, cosy winter knits and heirloom-quality garments, this Shetland yarn works beautifully whether knitted or crocheted. Each skein carries gentle tonal variation that enhances stitch definition and adds subtle dimensional interest to your finished work.
Lerwick Sunset is inspired by winter sunsets in Lerwick, where the low sun ignites the sky in a blaze of golden warmth with hints of ember and violet shadows as dusk falls. This palette evokes feelings of cozy evenings shared with loved ones and scenic Scottish horizons captured in colour.
Fibre: 100% Shetland wool — naturally warm, durable and breathable
Weight: 4-ply / sport / fine weight
Hand-dyed in small, limited-edition micro batches for unique colour nuance
Soft, balanced handle with excellent stitch definition
Perfect for accessories, garments, and thoughtful gifts
Shetland wool naturally creates fabric with structure and resilience yet softens beautifully with wear and washing, making this yarn a joy to knit and wear.
Lerwick Sunset works particularly well for:
Shawls and wraps that show off colour transitions
Socks and gloves with a soft handle and fine gauge
Lightweight sweaters and cardigans
Heirloom scarves and accessories that become keepsakes
Because every skein is hand-dyed, small tonal variations are part of the charm — when using multiple skeins, alternate them every few rows for the most seamless colour blend.
To keep your handmade garments and accessories in great condition:
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild wool wash
Avoid agitation or wringing — Shetland fibres are strong but can felt with rough handling
Lay flat to dry away from heat or direct sunlight
Fold garments rather than hang to preserve shape and loft
Shetland wool softens with use and washing, developing character and warmth over time — making every piece uniquely yours.
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.
