Shetland sheep are native to the Shetland Islands, located north of Scotland. British wool, known for its elasticity and durability due to the harsh natural environment of cold winters, includes Shetland wool, which stands out for its softness and luster. These sheep are also smaller in size and produce less fleece, making their wool a rare and valuable material.

With a wide variety of colors now available, you can enjoy creating knitwear like patterned sweaters and scarves by combining different shades. This soft, skin-friendly wool is the perfect choice for your winter knitting projects.
