Jamieson’s

The Dartmoor Wool Loft is excited to be a new stockist of Jamieson’s. We bought up some old stock from a yarn shop that closed down - some of their Double Knitting and their Shetland Heather. In Autumn 2024 we will put in an order for their Spindrift which is perfect for Fairisle knitting. Come in and see our colour collection soon.

Jamieson’s is a family owned business, which has specialised in wool from the native Shetland sheep for 5 generations. The family are dedicated to the survival of this unique fibre and as each new generation joins the business, this promotion becomes their life’s ambition.
The business was started in the early 1890’s. Set up by Robert Jamieson in Sandness, on the far west coast of the Shetland Isles. From his shop, he bought or exchanged for goods, knitwear from the local crofters. The knitted goods were then sold on to meet the public demand for fashionable Shetland hosiery beyond the island’s shores.
Over the next century, each generation of Jamieson brought their own skills and ideas to develop and progress the business. 
With the business now moving into its 5th generation, Peter, and his son Garry, continue to develop and promote their prized unique Shetland products. The extensive ranges of hand knitting yarns now being offered have been developed and extended with valuable assistance from their many international agents and distributors. Jamieson’s exclusive Shetland knitwear, fabrics and yarns are now available in premium stores and boutiques worldwide.
