A heritage yarn company based in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, Jamieson’s of Shetland has been producing yarn from native Shetland sheep for over a century. Founded in the 1890s, the family-run business spans five generations and operates the islands’ only commercial spinning mill, where every step, from raw fleece to finished yarn is completed locally.
Known for its authentic 100% Shetland wool, the brand is celebrated for its durability, natural warmth, and distinctive texture developed in the harsh island climate. Their yarns are especially loved for traditional techniques like Fair Isle colorwork, offering an extensive palette of rich, heathered shades that reflect the landscape of the Shetland Isles.
With a strong commitment to preserving local wool traditions and supporting Shetland farmers, Jamieson’s continues to produce yarn that is both deeply rooted in heritage and trusted by knitters around the world.
