Shetland Sweater in Cirrus

Shetland wool is an ideal fiber for cool weather. It has a reputation for warmth and hardiness, and is shorn from resilient sheep in remote counties of Scotland. Once the wool is dyed and milled, these richly-colored yarns then travel to a nearby knitter that has been an industry leader for over 100 years. There, the sweaters are knit in a “fully fashioned” method - a traditional technique that results in a completely seamless garment.  The soft gray backdrop of this sweater reveals a secret when studied closely—a rainbow of gossamer threads peek out from the neutral tones. This sweater has been brushed to further enhance the airy appearance of these unique yarns.
