5ply Shetland

Deeply rooted in the maritime history of the islands, Jamieson & Smith 5ply Shetland is inspired by the timeless seafaring traditions of historic fishing communities. This deliberate collection pays homage to Scotland's rich textile heritage, capturing the rugged beauty and coastal colours of the North Atlantic.

This 100% Real Shetland wool yarn is worsted-spun, a meticulous combing process that yields an exceptionally smooth handle and crisp stitch definition. Available in a curated palette of twenty shades, the range artfully pairs solid, vibrant tones dyed on a white base with deeply heathered "Twilight" colours overdyed on natural grey.

With its plied sport-weight structure, this durable wool is the definitive choice for authentic, heavily textured Gansey sweaters and traditional Fishermen’s workwear. Its resilient finish gracefully showcases intricate knit-and-purl combinations, ensuring everyday garments look pristine and hold their structural integrity for generations.
