The fabulous eighth edition of the Shetland Wool Week Annual is here! This 2022 collection contains work from 11 knit designers that truly embraces the diverse nature of the delightful Sheltand wool.
Within its pages, you will find stunning photography of the colourful village of Scalloway that captures the essence of the Islands with expert precision alongside 13 knitting patterns which include beautiful lace, vivid fair isle and wonderful weaving.
