What is Shetland Wool? Wool from Shetland sheep, used in characteristically textured British sweaters.
Shetland wool comes from sheep native to the Shetland Islands of Scotland. The wool is slightly coarser than merino but warm and durable. Shetland sweaters are a classic British fall and winter staple — slightly rustic in texture, traditionally worn over button-down shirts. Pringle, John Smedley, and Inverallan are well-known makers.
