2ply Lace Weight is woollen spun from the finest Real Shetland wool along with Lambswool to make a smoother yarn and tame the Shetland "halo". Traditionally used in Shetland Lace haps and scarves, this yarn is also perfect for light garments such as shawls, scarves, wraps and summer sweaters. This yarn can be used in vintage patterns which call for "3ply yarns". It has a crisp finish once washed and excellent stitch definition.
