 The Shetland Teddy Bear Company are proud to present our family of unique traditional jointed heirloom bears, made from 100% pure Shetland Wool from Shetland rare-breed sheep.
The wool is grown, spun, woven and knitted here on the remote islands of Shetland, and your support in purchasing this bear helps sustain and preserve a way of life lived by the crofters and crafters of these islands for generations.
Each bear arrives with a unique numbered certificate and is signed by the artist.
Our boy bears are wearing a natty hand knitted chunky scarf in Shetland wool.
The lasses can choose from a lace scarf or a lace shawl.
