Brushing a Shetland is a customised additional service of labour and alters the garment outwith our normal inventory. Therefore a custom brushed garment is completely non returnable, even for exchange. If you are unsure you will be keeping the Shetland, please order an unbrushed Shetland to try first, which you then can return if you would prefer it brushed.

 

Shaggy - The classic Shaggy look, brushed twice giving a slightly fuzzy effect, providing a mildly thicker 'handle' to the garment. 

 

 

Triple Brushed - Brushed three times. A very fuzzy look, individual stitches are more obscured and the garment has a cloudy appearance. 

 

 

Quad Shaggy - Brushed four times resulting in an extremely brushed effect bordering on a felted look which inevitably provides a slightly more rigid garment. We will never brush a Shetland more than four times. The increased brushing also lightens the yarn colour intensity slightly, as it has an airbrushed effect on the wool. 

 

 

Great Bear Shaggy - A special brushing treatment we can apply to North Sea Shetlands. These can only be brushed twice but due to their 4 ply thickness, it has to be done a certain way and the brushing has an exaggerated effect.

 

 

Polar Bear Shaggy - A new brushing treatment we can apply to our Submariner sweaters These can only be brushed twice but due to their 4 ply thickness, it has to be done a certain way and the brushing has an exaggerated effect. The inside of the polo neck is also brushed so the garment looks uniform upon wear.
