Bio Shetland

BC Garn's Bio Shetland is a beautiful woolen-spun, 100% organic wool yarn which is dyed using commercial synthetic dyes and the most eco-friendly dye practices, as certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Each beautiful colourway features a dynamic mix of colours, some with small flecks of contrasting colours offering the feeling of a subtle tweed. Designed for colourwork knitting, this rustic, low-loft yarn is also great for weft-faced tapestry woven at 12 ends-per-inch, or held double woven at 6-8 ends-per-inch.

For use in weaving with my Weave an Everlea Gradient, Colour in Tapestry or Weave a Sunset workshops choose two or more different groupings of colourways.

Gradients called, 'dynamic gradients' offer multiple hues (colours) in one five-colour gradient. As opposed many shades of one colour ranging from light to dark, dynamic gradients include other colours like yellow on the light end of a green gradient, for example. I find dynamic gradients especially fun to weave with, offering a more painterly effect, and they are great for collecting a variety of colours for your stash.

I offer Bio Shetland individually as in 7g bobbins or 50g skeins, as well as in groups of five offering a variety of values (lights, mediums and darks) for successful gradients and colourwork. When offered individually I have marked them from #1-5, 'one' being the lightest and 'five' being the darkest.

Gradient on an Everlea Mini Loom

These two gradient bundles of Bio Shetland are both dynamic gradients, offering painterly effect to the colour transitions. Woven on a walnut Everlea Mini Loom, this is as compact as a weaving project gets.

Using two thirds of my Everlea Tapestry Loom I wove this Everlea Gradient with the green grouping and the blue grouping of Bio Shetland. This might be my favourite gradient so far.
