Our shop will close on Tuesday 23rd December at 1pm, and we’ll be taking a short break over the holidays. We’ll be back and reopening as usual on Monday 5th January at 9am. Our online shop will remain open throughout this time, but please note that no orders will be dispatched and emails will not be answered while we are closed. All orders and enquiries will be dealt with when we return in January. Thank you so much for all your support throughout the year, it truly means a great deal to us.

Hello everyone, this is our first post on the blog since we integrated it into our new Shopify online shop! We’re delighted that our blog has found a new home, right here on our updated Jamieson & Smith online shop. Bringing the blog and online shop together means everything you love about J&S is now in one place: stories from Shetland’s knitting heritage, peeks behind the scenes in our Lerwick shop, updates from the wool store, and of course, the latest news about yarns, patterns, and projects. By keeping the blog on the website, it should be easier. When we talk about a new yarn shade, a designer collaboration, or the history behind a picture, you can browse the products mentioned without having to hop between pages. We want it to feels a bit like wandering through the shop, spotting something on a shelf that matches a tale we’ve just told! If you’ve followed our blog for a long time, don’t worry, all the older posts are safely here too. And if you’re new to J&S, this is a lovely place to start. We’re excited to share this new chapter with you. Have a browse, have a read, and as always, thank you for supporting Jamieson & Smith.
