The Croft - Shetland Country

A collection of designs by Rosee Woodland and Mary Henderson using The Croft Shetland Colours and The Croft Shetland Tweeds.

From the publisher, West Yorkshire Spinners:

"The rural agricultural community on the Shetland Islands have a long and prestigious history of rearing Britain's most northerly native sheep breed and collecting its high-quality wool.  This is part of a practice known as crofting, which is integral to the landscape, cultural heritage and social economy of the Shetland Islands.  It bonds people and places in a unique way, preserving livelihoods and age old traditions.

We had long awaited the opportunity to work with Shetland Island Wool, a fibre world-renowned for its fineness, warmth and strength.  We were delighted to be given the chance by Jamieson & Smith of Shetland to use this fantastic fleece."

This book contains knitting patterns for sweaters and accessories for men and women.
