The Appeal of Shetland Knitwear

Shetland knitwear has long been valued for its warmth, durability and distinctive character. Made from wool traditionally associated with the Shetland Islands, it has a naturally substantial feel that makes it a dependable choice when the temperature drops.

What Makes Shetland Wool Different?

Shetland wool is naturally warm, resilient and full of texture. Its insulating qualities make it especially well suited to colder weather, while the wool’s character gives each jumper a traditional, slightly rustic feel.

A 5 gauge knit adds extra substance, creating a warm layer that works well through autumn and winter.

Easy to Layer

Shetland knitwear is ideal for relaxed layering. Wear a crew neck over a country shirt or cotton T-shirt, then add an overshirt, gilet or jacket when more warmth is needed.

Saddle shoulder construction also gives a comfortable fit across the shoulders and allows plenty of freedom of movement.

How to Wear Shetland Knitwear

Pair Shetland knitwear with jeans or corduroy trousers for an easy cold weather look. Classic colours work particularly well for everyday wear, while richer shades can add a little more interest to a winter outfit.
