Well what a winter wonderland Shetland turned into last week.
As if by magic, as soon as the calendar turned to 1st December we had a beautiful scattering of snow. It’s given us a cosy glow and our woollens are having the perfect moment!
We thought now would be the time to launch two new patterns from our Shetland Wool Week Patron, Wilma Malcolmson. Following on from the success of Da Crofter’s Kep Wilma has designed a cowl and fingerless gloves as part of ‘Da Crofter’ series.
We love the practicality of the fingerless gloves, as you can wear them whilst getting on with ‘stuff’; and the cowl, which sits neatly to the neck, is the perfect warm accessory at this time of year.
They’re so beautiful and we hope you love them as much as we do.
Both are available as a digital download from our online shop, via PayHip.

‘Da Street’ in Lerwick is looking so inviting right now – and the wool shops are always our favourite for creativity and inspiration. Here are just two windows that have caught our eye – Ninian; and Jamieson’s of Shetland which features a knitted winter theme from Narnia.
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey letting us know your thoughts on a physical event next year, which have been a great help. As the global situation continues to remain unpredictable we are currently unable to announce any firm plans for 2022. As soon as we have more information, we will update you.
In the meantime, a reminder to all those who took out SWW Membership for this year’s Virtual event, all the films will remain online to be viewed until the end of the year.
Stay cosy and enjoy the new patterns.
