What does it feel like?
The look pulls you in and the feel makes you want to wear it.
It is tough wool but stroke your hand across and you feel softness. It’s wirey to look at with the texture of the knitted yarn. Look closer and see the natural variations in the jumper. There are isolated single white fibres set in ash grey highlights against the soft browns of the background.
Be in no doubt if you are hyper sensitive then this is still wool and some will find it itchy. Ed is pretty sensitive but he loves wearing Voe.

What is Voe Wool?
Voe sheep are native to the Shetland Islands and their wool is renowned for its softness. They spend their days traversing the wild and unforgiving sea cliffs, grazing on weather-beaten grasses and the occasional seaweed delicacy. Famously worn by Sir Edmund Hilary on his ascent of Everest in 1953, Shetland wool is globally renowned for its natural softness and loft. This translates to a jumper that’s both lightweight and insulating – a prized combination.
The greyish brown shade you see is the sheep’s true colour. Voe Shetland wool is undyed. What you see is what you get. The yarn showcases the natural colour of the sheep’s fleece. Isn’t that fantastic? We think so.
Zero Waste
Seam-free whole garment knitting
This jumper has been knitted flatbed tubular “in the round” then cast off the machine as a complete jumper. We’re proud that this knitwear is made with zero waste. This manufacturing technique also produces a super slinky fit as there are no bulky side seams.

Product Care
It’s wool, it doesn’t need washing every time you wear it.
If you absolutely have to, cool hand wash only.
Do not put it in a washing machine, do not spin it.
Dry flat on a table, do not hang on the line, the wool fibres will hate you for it.
