Formed in 1982, the Shetland Knitwear Trades Association ( SKTA ) is the trade body that represents Shetland 's knitwear manufacturers. The aim of the association is to protect and promote genuine Shetland Knitwear and to provide a first contact point for those wishing to make direct contact with Shetland based knitwear manufacturers.
Unfortunately, ' Shetland ' is now used to promote (often inferior quality) knitwear produced outwith the islands. With this in mind, the association has it's own ' Shetland Lady ' trademark (available only to members) which guarantees that the knitwear has been produced in Shetland, and a quality assurance program designed to maintain the highest standards.
The links at the left provide some information and contact details for each member of the association. Please enjoy your visit and contact admin@skta.co.uk if you require further information.
