Shetland bed wins award

LUXURY bed maker Vi-Spring’s Shetland range of beds has won gold for the best wool product in The House Beautiful Awards.

The company is working with Jamieson & Smith Shetland Wool Brokers to fill their beds with pure Shetland wool in their Devon workshop.

Shortlisted in the best wool product section were Real Shetland Wool Throws by The Real Shetland Company.

Ollaberry resident and Crofters Commission chairman Drew Ratter won a Vi-Spring during a literary competition at the recent Shetland Wool Week.

Having spent a few weeks with his new luxury item, Mr Ratter said: “I think this is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, and I am absolutely thrilled to have won it.

“I think the achievement by Shetland Wool Brokers in getting a strong marketing relationship with a top end company like Vi Spring is a terrific one.”
