Authentic Shetland Sweaters

We went to the very remote (check the map!) Shetland Isles to find the weaver and knitter of the authentic Shetland sweaters you see here. The eyecatching beauty of true Shetland wool is the incredible mélange of colors created in the weaving. The fully fashioned easy fitting body is ribbed at the collar, cuffs and waistband in a traditional range of handsome mixed colors to carry from early autumn through to the spring. From top to bottom: F-damask; G-Pacific; E-sky; D-wild violet; B-rye; H-lovat; A-buttercup; C-paprika.
