Shetland Sweaters



Nothing brings fall to mind for this TNSIL fan better than some nice shetland sweaters. These are Jamieson's for Ben Silver. They've got a few on sale now in odd sizes. What I like are the colors. I especially like the one on top.

As some have pointed out, you can get a MTM shetland sweater from Spirit of Shetland for about the same price as a RTW version from typical TNSIL shops in the US. I, however, prefer the necks on the versions made for the American shops better.

I have also noticed in photographs of the mtm sweater that the necks are stout. I like my sweater neck to swing low, so I'm with you. I should get away from the heavily brushed variety but they are hard to find at a reasonable price.

Nothing finer than a shetland over a 2 ply italian cotton button down at this time of year.
