Shetland Jumpers
Authentic Shetland Wool Jumpers – Sourced Directly from the Shetland Islands.
At Westaway & Westaway, we are proud to offer authentic Shetland wool jumpers, crafted from the finest wool sourced exclusively from the Shetland Islands. Known for its rustic texture, warmth, and durability, Shetland wool is a heritage fibre that offers both timeless style and sustainable value.
Why Shetland Wool?
Shetland wool is prized for its unique qualities, shaped by the harsh and variable climate of the Shetland Islands. The native Shetland sheep have adapted to the rugged environment, producing wool that is not only warm and breathable but also lightweight and resilient.
- Natural Insulation: Shetland wool provides excellent warmth without being heavy, making it ideal for layering in colder climates. Its natural insulating properties allow for comfort in both chilly and milder conditions.
- Rustic Durability: The slightly coarse texture of Shetland wool adds to its durability, making these jumpers hard-wearing and perfect for outdoor use. The wool softens over time while maintaining its strength, meaning these garments are built to last.
- Breathability: Despite its warmth, Shetland wool is naturally breathable, wicking moisture away from the body to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the day.
Sourced Directly from the Shetland Islands
We take pride in sourcing all our Shetland wool directly from the islands themselves. This not only ensures the authenticity of the wool but also supports the local communities and preserves the heritage of Shetland wool production.
- Authentic Island Wool: By sourcing wool from the Shetland Islands, we maintain the highest standards of quality and authenticity. Each jumper carries with it the heritage and craftsmanship of this remote Scottish region.
- Sustainably Sourced: The Shetland sheep graze on natural pastures, and the wool is harvested ethically and sustainably, making Shetland wool an eco-friendly choice.
Knitted in Scotland: Tradition and Craftsmanship
All our Shetland wool jumpers are knitted either in Shetland or in the Scottish mainland, where centuries of wool-making tradition and expertise are woven into each garment. By collaborating closely with Scottish knitters and mills, we ensure that each jumper is crafted to the highest standards, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern quality control.
- Heritage Craftsmanship: Each jumper is fully fashioned and hand-linked by experienced Scottish artisans, ensuring a superior fit and a garment that will last for years.
- Ethical Production: We work with local manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainable and ethical practices, ensuring that every jumper is produced responsibly.
