Due to popular demand, we now offer a brushing service for those who would like a standard garment in brushed / shaggy form. Please note we only brush shetland wool garments. You can see which items are brushable by filtering categories to ‘Brushable’.

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.

BRUSHING LEVELS

Shaggy - The classic Shaggy look, brushed twice giving a slightly fuzzy effect, providing a mildly thicker 'handle' to the garment. Applies to Harley of Scotland and Bosie Luxury Shetlands only.

Triple Brushed - Brushed three times. A very fuzzy look, individual stitches are more obscured and the garment has a cloudy appearance. Applies to Harley of Scotland and Bosie Luxury Shetlands only.

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, as it has an airbrushed effect on the wool. Applies to Harley of Scotland and Bosie Luxury Shetlands only.

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.

If you are purchasing multiple garments please indicate which ones you would like brushed in 'additional comments' upon checkout.

*Please note that we do not brush Voe True Everest or Sherpa Shetland's as they do not respond well to brushing*
