Here you will be able to read about the knitwear I make and sell, and see the photos. I mainly knit with Shetland Wool,with which I make lace scarves. I love Manos del Uruguay, which is a mixture of wool and silk, hand-spun by a women's co-operative in Uruguay. I have recently started a new range of Opera Shawls - these are all named after characters in Opera, and knitted either in Kidsilk, a mixture of Mohair and silk, or in Shetland Lace.

Shawl in Shetland Heritage Yarn
I recently knitted this shawl in Shetland Heritage yarn, developed by Jamieson and Smith.
Shetland Heritage yarn recreates the original characteristics of handspun ‘wursit’ used in old Fair Isle garments. The yarn is replicated from that found in knitted Fair Isle garments in the collection of Shetland Museum and Archives.
