Genevieve captures the richness of burgundy wine, with a deep melange of ruby, spiced plum and claret red with hints of charcoal grey. The beauty of wool is carefully balanced to create this truly unique colour melange.

The super-soft wool Genevieve has selected for the Laide is locally sourced and spun by a celebrated Aberdeenshire mill. The secret to its luxurious handle is the fact it comes from the ‘first clip’ of the lamb – an initial shear known for its unrivalled softness. Finer and more expensive, it produces a garment of exceptionally high quality without compromising on its authentic Shetland character.

Once knitted, it’s then brushed using the teasel thistle – a rarely-used specialist technique that further enhances the sumptuously soft hand feel. Completely natural and highly effective, the teasel thistle has been used for centuries to brush and soften yarn. By elongating the fibres, it not only creates a beautifully soft feel, but lends the wool a relaxed and subtly felted quality that no man-made brush could match.

The Laide vest has a fully-fashioned, seamless design not only ensures a perfect fit, but barely any yarn waste. Made in the UK, this style brings together the innovation of the seamless knitting technique and heritage skills with hand-linked trims.
