Jamieson & Smith Shetland Wool Brokers Ltd
Have been in the wool business for over 60 years
annually buying, direct from the local crofters and farmers, the major
portion of the wool produced in Shetland
Our collection of hand knitting yarns, including
our natural coloured Shetland 2000 range, reflects the natural beauty
of our islands and unique characteristics of the Shetland sheep, which
graze on the wind swept heather clad hills.
During the 2006 season we have purchased more than
230,000 Kg (see note below) of Shetland 's wool clip direct
from local wool producers maintaining our position as the Islands main
buyer of locally produced raw wool.
********************
Our local knowledge suggests that this figure is probably in excess of
90% of Shetlands total raw wool production and we appear to be on
target to meet or exceed this level for the 2007 season.
(Further information is available on our 'About Us'
page)
********************

knitting yarn, blended Shetland Lace hand knitting yarn and with
our own Shetland 2000 natural coloured undyed yarn, and in order
