Shetland Wool
Shetland Wool is a natural fiber sourced from the Shetland sheep, a breed native to the Shetland Islands in Scotland. This wool is known for its softness, warmth, and durability, making it ideal for a variety of garments, especially knitwear. The unique climate of the Shetland Islands contributes to the quality of the wool, as the sheep are exposed to harsh weather conditions that help produce a fine, resilient fleece.
The wool comes in a range of natural colors, allowing for beautiful, un-dyed textiles. Shetland Wool is often used in traditional Fair Isle knitting, which features intricate patterns and vibrant color combinations. Its lightweight yet insulating properties make it a popular choice for sweaters, scarves, and other cozy items.
