English:

Jamieson & Smith yarns are made from 100% Real Shetland wool, from Shetland Sheep that are born and bred in Shetland. Each year J&S purchases wool from over 700 local crofters and farmers to transform into their quality natural yarns.

Caring for your wool: Handwash only. If cared for well, your wool will last a lifetime. Shetland knits are passed down through generations, with arms and necklines re-knitted and delicate lace repaired and carefully conserved. Store your wool in a clean, dry place with a sprig of lavender to keep your Real Shetkand Wool at its best.
