Its wool is therefore ultra-robust, exceptionally warm, and one of the most insulating wools in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe finish\u003c\/em\u003e: The English word \"shaggy\" means \"disheveled, bushy.\" To remove the initially rough texture of Shetland wool, the sweater undergoes an intensive brushing process that brings the short fibers of the yarn to the surface of the knit. The result: the sweater becomes voluminous, soft to the touch, and has a fluffy, slightly fuzzy appearance, making it very pleasant to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe spinning mill\u003c\/em\u003e: The yarn comes from the Hinchliffe \u0026amp; Sons spinning mill, a traditional family business founded in 1776 in Yorkshire. They are recognized worldwide for the quality, fineness, and consistency of their yarns, particularly cashmere and Shetland wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHistory of the \"shaggy\" sweater\u003c\/em\u003e: From the 9th century, Norse settlers introduced their sheep to the Shetland Islands. The traditional Shetland sweater was born of necessity: it was knitted by the women of the archipelago to be warm, light, and extremely durable in the face of the subarctic climate. Shetland wool is a robust fiber and can be rough to the touch. The sweaters were often worn by fishermen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut it was in the 1950s in the United States, and not in the United Kingdom, that the Shetland sweater acquired its famous \"shaggy\" brushed finish, because Americans were looking for the warmth of Shetland wool, but with more softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Shaggy sweater became a pillar of the Preppy and Ivy League style in the United States, worn by icons like John F. Kennedy. This success made this finish the benchmark for Shetland wool worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJamy’s bonus note: why are Shetland sheep and ponies small?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u0026gt; The small size of Shetland sheep and ponies is the result of an evolutionary adaptation to the extremely harsh environment and limited resources of the Shetland Islands, a windswept archipelago north of Scotland. This phenomenon is an excellent example of island adaptation, where small size becomes an advantage for survival :)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAGASIN VIVANT","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":56519442432345,"sku":"MV-MV-001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":56519442465113,"sku":"MV-MV-002","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":56519442497881,"sku":"MV-MV-003","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":56519442530649,"sku":"MV-MV-004","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":56519442563417,"sku":"MV-MV-005","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/3270\/9877\/files\/PULLSHAGGYSHETLAND-BLACK_light.jpg?v=1764252217","url":"https:\/\/magasinvivant.com\/en\/products\/pull-shaggy-black-magasin-vivant","provider":"MAGASIN VIVANT!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
