This sweater is a true classic. The brushed shetland sweater has been worn for decades by multible presidents, rockstars and supermodels. It's often called a "shaggy dog" sweater and got it's big break through the American brand J.PRESS, during the whole Ivy League-era. It's brushed with a brilliant brushing technique which lifts and pulls the fibres for a loose and relaxed shaggy effect. The traditional teasels, "Dipsacus Fullonum" ("Kardvädd" in Swedish) are a natural product and no man-made brush can replicate the unique brushing effects of the traditional teasel. Take a second and let it sink in. All sweaters are brushed with dried flowers. With flowers! My eyes are tearing up while thinking of it.
It's knitted- and then brushed by skilled craftsmen in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the capital of wool garments. It's knitted out of 100% classic Shetland wool/yarn from the Shetland Islands, a subarctic archipelago of Scotland that lies in the very northeast of Great Britain. Surrounded by the great ocean and it's rough weather, this wool has been developed for centuries.

BRUSHED SHETLAND SWEATER in BLUE
Wool is a fantastic material that actually washes itself. Hang the sweater outside in the air, instead of washing it. If you were to get a stain, use hand wash. On most modern washing machines, there is a program called something like "hand washing" (30 degrees celcius) - use that one!
