Fair Isle Knitwear

Our Fair Isle knitwear comes from the Shetland Islands. It is made using wool from local farms which is delivered to the factory, processed and spun on site into yarn ready for knitting.

Many of the patterns used for our knitwear date back to the 1920s, 30s, 40s or even earlier. Fair Isle knitwear was popularised by the then Prince of Wales, who was regularly seen wearing a Fair Isle sweater whilst playing golf. Popular then and now, the knitwear is sought after by vintage enthusiasts, hickory golfers and costume departments around the world. We have many knitwear styles to chose from including, sweaters, slip overs, cardigans. By far and away our most popular style is the Fair Isle V-neck slipover.
