For centuries, Scotland’s Shetland Islanders faced long, cold nights fishing treacherous seas. It was a hard life, but it did afford one comfort: sweaters like this one, made of the sturdy yet lightweight, surprisingly soft warmth of wool from Shetland Island sheep. Today, Shetland wool is farmed worldwide, but it retains the character that once shrugged off North Atlantic winds, repelled mist and insulated seafarers from the relentless cold. It’s what we’ve used to craft this classic Shetland Wool Fair Isle Mock. And naturally we’ve built in all the extras you expect from Duluth, from the fleece-lined neck that’ll keep you chin-deep in cozy comfort to spandex in the cuffs and bottoms to bounce back from any escapade. We even knitted in Reach Gussets® for ease of movement – something you won’t find anywhere else. Give a Shetland sweater as a gift, and you can be sure it’ll long be cherished.|
