Book will be shipped once released at the end of September.
Shetland Shades: Stories in Wool is a homage to Gudrun Johnston’s Shetland roots and the rich knitting traditions of these breathtaking islands.
The collection includes 12 knitting patterns, focusing on richly-hued vests, complemented by a few beautiful hats and scarves.
Inspired by the rugged beauty of Shetland, the book explores ways of knitting with colour — mixing together the different shades of nature. It features vests with versatile and engaging constructions that make beautiful layering pieces for any outfit.
In the personal essays, Gudrun digs deeper into her creative process and Shetland knitting heritage, while also sharing her newfound interest in sewing. Shetland Shades invites you to be inspired by wind-swept shores, earthy tones, and centuries of crafting.
The book has been beautifully bound using Swiss binding to create an "open" spine, allowing the book to lay completely flat for improved usability. This technique involves adhering the book block only to the back cover, leaving the spine exposed or partially exposed, which provides a durable, premium feel suitable for knitting patterns and books.
12 patterns: 8 vests, 2 hats and 2 scarves.
