Knitwear care

All of our knitwear is hand-finished and carefully washed and pre-shrunk before we send it to you. We recommend that you follow these instructions carefully:

Dissolve mild soap flakes in lukewarm water and carefully wash the garment by gentle squeezing. Rinse thoroughly in water of the SAME temperature. A fabric conditioner may be added to the rinse water. Squeeze water out or give a short spin to remove excess water. You may like to roll the garment in a towel to remove more moisture. Ease into shape and dry on a flat surface. When drying keep away from direct heat and strong light. A light steam-iron will ensure your garment retains its original shape. If you prefer, your genuine Shetland knitwear may be taken to a reputable dry-cleaner.

Availability

Our knitwear is hand frame knitted in Shetland homes. Small items such as Fair Isle hats, scarfs and gloves are usually available to send now.

Other knitwear may take up to 4 weeks to knit to your preferred size, style and colour. All orders are acknowledged within 48 hours and an estimate given of delivery time.
