Roisin Chevron Scarf with Hat in the West Yorkshire Spinners Croft DK & Aran

The rural agricultural community on the Shetland Islands has a long and prestigious history of rearing Britain’s most northerly native sheep and collecting their sustainable, high-quality wool. Known as crofting, this practice is integral to the landscape, cultural heritage and economy. It bonds people and places in unique ways to preserve livelihoods and age-old traditions. Our exclusive relationship with Jamieson & Smith gives us the privilege of working with fleece world-renowned for its fineness, warmth and strength. The high levels of crimp and wave in the fibre combined with its soft and silky handle make it perfect for hand knitting.
