Shetland Shades

Step into the breathtaking landscapes of Shetland with Gudrun Johnston’s Shetland Shades: Stories in Wool. Renowned knitwear designer Gudrun Johnston takes us to her Shetland roots and the rich knitting traditions of the islands.

Inspired by Shetland’s rugged landscapes and extraordinary palette of natural shades, the book explores colour in many forms, from traditional Fair Isle and colour blocking to mosaic knitting and marling. Across 12 knitting patterns, Gudrun brings her distinctive eye for colour and contemporary design to the traditions that have shaped her work.
