“Our products are eco sustainable - our ethos is to utilise end of season/production cones of yarn (unloved yarn) which gives a unique product as there may only be enough for 2 or 3 pieces during manufacturing. Luxury yarns we love to use are Merino/Silk/Lambswool/Shetland wool. Our mini factory is based within the Bressay School and we have a shop in Lerwick's Commercial Street” – Roisin McAtamney of R.A.M Knitwear.

A limited selection of styles can be viewed online at https://www.r-a-m-knitwear.co.uk/shop, and a full selection is available in R.A.M Knitwear’s Lerwick shop.
