Shetland Wool Week Annual 2022

The Shetland Wool Week Annual is a true celebration of creativity, crofting and textiles heritage as well as a showcase of the versatility of Shetland wool in all its different hues. The stunning photography captures the essence of the islands and gives us such woolly wonderlust.

Something special – Shetland Heritage Patterns

The publication includes two heritage patterns! Working with the Unst Heritage Centre, Shetland Museum and Donna Smith, they have revived and reinterpreted two distinctly different vintage garments for today’s knitter. We are so excited for these two wearable pieces: Merran’s Cardigan and Jemima’s Jumper and Cowl are a celebration of Shetland lace and Fair Isle knitting respectively.
