Jamiesons of Shetland

Summer seems to have disappeared from Shetland already but our window display is still giving some nice summery vibes!

Regatta's are a common feature around Shetland during the summer months. They feature both sailing and rowing in traditional boats called 'yoals'. Haven't spotted many with a Fair Isle patterned sail though, perhaps we can start a trend? 😆

If anyone would like to borrow some of our rain, we'll happily trade it for some nicer weather!!

Earlier this year we were delighted to design a unique Fair Isle sweater for the Junior Up-Helly-Aa band to wear as part of their 'uniform'.

Music is an essential part of the festival and the band members are all young volunteers who put in a huge effort to provide some exceptional music. We're thrilled to share the launch details of their new EP.

You might see a rather familiar young lady in the band if you've been in our shop this summer! 😉🎻

It's been a long time in the making but our new website is finally ready to launch! 🥳

There will be a short period tomorrow, June 11th, when we'll be fully offline for the final switch over.

We hope you'll all enjoy the new layout & find it easy to navigate. Please get in touch if you have loyalty points to transfer!

Sorry folks but our Internet/phone lines are down!
We're trying to get it resolved as quickly as possible, please bear with us!!
UPDATE: Unfortunately this is a physical fault on the connection into our building and needs to be replaced! The engineers should be on-site this week and we can only apologise for the inconvenience.

We've had a great evening at the 2026 Hat launch celebrating our brilliant new patron and her gorgeous hat, the Birsie Beanny!

We absolutely love the Sea Urchin colourway which is knitted in our yarns, a fabulous selection of blues and purples.
The 'toosks' (tufts) on top are completely unique idea, very typical of Helen's innovative designs.

Kits are available online and in store now!

It's not very spring-like up here in Shetland so we thought we might try to banish the gales & sleet with a soft Easter themed palette!

Our Lerwick shop will be closed for the bank holiday on Monday so orders placed over the weekend won't be despatched until Tuesday at the earliest.

We would like to wish everyone a lovely Easter weekend - hopefully the weather is nicer wherever you are!

The colours from left to right: 135 Blue Danube, 764 Cloud, 104 Natural White, 350 Lemon, 769 Willow & 794 Eucalyptus.
