jamieson & smith

Jamieson & Smith Shetland Wool Brokers Ltd. purchase Shetland wool from over 700 of Shetland's crofters and farmers, and transform it into high-quality Shetland wool products. All the wool is hand sorted and graded and turned into a wonderfully soft, strong and warm yarn, perfect for hand-knitting diverse lace and fair isle colourwork.

shetland wool

The Shetland is a native of the Shetland Isles, located in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland. In this remote, rugged and harsh environment, the Shetland developed over a thousand years to become a hardy, self reliant breed. It is kept primarily for its fine, soft fleece which appears in a range of eleven natural colours.

mulesing free

Mulesing is a controversial farming practice used, predominantly in Australia, to prevent the parasidic infection flystrike. While mulesing prevents infection, it is a very painful procedure for the animal to endure, and more humane alternatives exist. This practice is banned in many areas of the world. If a yarn is marked as mulesing free, that means that no animals were treated this way during the production of the yarn.
