No artificial fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides are used and the land has been protected by environmental management to encourage biodiversity.  There is a noticeable increase in the numbers of breeding birds that have returned to the area, particularly curlew, snipe, plover, oystercatcher and peewit.  Many flowering herbs and orchids bring colour in the summertime and the bumble bee population is also growing in number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e100% Organic, un-dyed Shetland wool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKnitted in Scotland.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHand wash only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize guide:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall: 38\" chest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: 42\" chest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge: 44\" chest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uradale","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":57997105004928,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":57997105037696,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":57997105070464,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8605\/9594\/files\/uradaleshetlandjumpergraeff.jpg?v=1781103978","url":"https:\/\/scottishtextilesshowcase.com\/products\/uradale-shetland-jumper-graeff","provider":"Scottish Textiles Showcase","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
