Our opinion
An excellent address for knitwear, particularly if you like brushed Shetland wool sweaters.
The quality/price ratio of Bosie sweaters is difficult to beat, since the brand itself is its own workshop.
Consequently, the sweater entirely made in Scotland, in "fully-fashioned" manufacturing (each piece which makes up the sweater is knitted to shape and not cut from a knitting sheet) starts from 110 pounds on a rather high Shetland yarn. of range.
Even if the main part of the offer focuses on different variants of Shetland wool (a softer "supersoft Shetland", a rougher "true Shetland" and faithful to the sources of the Shetland sweater), the brand also offers different yarns, composed of wools such as cashmere, alpaca, mohair, “geelong” lamb, etc.
Most designs are primarily crewneck sweaters, but a few variations are sometimes present, including turtleneck sweaters.
It is possible to choose the color of each model from the entire range of threads available from the brand, which gives it a powerful advantage in terms of range width.
Another benefit of the status of "workshop brand": if by chance the model you wanted, in a certain color, at a certain size, was not in stock, the brand could launch production and deliver to you a few weeks later. late.
You can also buy “shade cards”, small samples showing all the colors of the yarns used by the brand, so you can touch the material and see the color in real life before buying.
The cuts are rather "boxy", straight and loose, and the sizes range from XS to XXXL.
Finally, you can even customize the level of brushing of your Shetland sweaters: without brushing, single brushing, double, triple or even quadruple, which will make it more or less smooth, or on the contrary, very shaggy. (Be careful, brushed sweaters also become significantly warmer due to the trapping of air, and sometimes even stifling.)
The only downside is that the site has sometimes unclear navigation, and all of these options can make the purchasing process a bit complicated.
In a few words: sweaters that we highly recommend.
