Real Shetland wool - warm, remarkably light, and raised for generations by crofters on the islands - is where this jumper begins. Knitted and teasel-brushed in Scotland, it has that soft, airy, unmistakably Shetland texture. The brushing lifts the surface just enough to bring out a finish that feels both natural and new. The silhouette is subtly oversized with an easy, lived-in slouch - relaxed but never heavy. A heritage fibre, knitted properly, and effortless to wear. The knit that makes you feel instantly at home.

A classic subtly oversize crew shape. Cocooning with a subtle drop shoulder. Chunky & warming, with a brushed soft touch.

Each piece is knitted and brushed in Scotland. Using traditional teasels -Dipsacus Fullonum, still the best tool for the job - we lift the surface just enough to reveal that soft, familiar texture: a little airy, a little shaggy, unmistakably Shetland.

Take your usual size for a fit as shown in the images. See the Size & Fit Guide above for more information.

This piece, crafted from 100% Shetland Wool is more fibrous and edgy than our Scottish-spun wool.

So while this wool has an inherent softness, it does have a little more kick to it than our smoother Scottish-spun yarn.

The finished garment is gently brushed in Scotland to raise a soft, subtle texture - the brushing enhances the warmth of the wool by gently deflecting wind, while making the fabric feel even softer against the skin.

It's hard to explain, but there's something very special about this brilliant hardy textured Shetland wool fibre. It feels proper, something your grandparents would have worn. And a knit of which they would heartily have approved.

Where layered over our WEEKEND POLO or WEEKEND for luxurious layering.

Our 5gg brushed jumper - chunkier than the Relaxed, yet lighter in feel than the Shetland Fair Isle thanks to its brushed finish. A mid-weight knit with the warmth of something heavier, but an airy softness that feels effortless. Perfect for layering through shifting seasons.
