Jamieson & Smith
Cross-Reference Charts

Often confused with Jamieson's Spinning, a separate company, Jamieson & Smith Shetland Wool Brokers is the "other" yarn producer from the Shetland Islands. A similar set of yarn colours and yarn weight means that Jamieson's Shetland Wool yarn can be substituted for patterns calling for their yarn.

Camilla Valley Farm does not sell Jamieson & Smith yarn but we have provided the information below to help knitters substitute the Jamiesons's Spinning Shetland Wool yarn we sell for it in patterns originally designed to use the Jamieson & Smith yarn.

Note: The above table was constructed by comparing the colours on the Jamieson's and Jamieson & Smith yarn sample cards.
Matched colours are those deemed to be within the expected variation for a dyelot and those identified
as "Substitutions" are close but not perfect matches.



The Seven Missing Colours?

While almost all of the Jamieson & Smith colours used on the designs found in the Sweaters from Camp pattern book, there are 7 colours that are strangely missing. All have a colour number with a "S" prefix and are in fact not even Jamieson & Smith colours but instead are standard Jamieson's Spindrift 2-ply yarn mixed in with the Jamieson & Smith colours to fill in "holes" in the Jamieson & Smith palette! These colours are shown in the table below:

Jamieson & Smith
2-ply Jumper Weight		 Jamieson's
Spindrift 2-ply
# Name # Name
S135 Surf 135 Surf
S147 Moss 147 Moss
S556 Old Rose 556 Old Rose
S596 Clover 596 Clover
S598 Mulberry 598 Mulberry
S620 Lilac 620 Lilac
