Frequently Asked Questions

I have a question about a pattern I purchased. Where can I reach out for support?

If you’re on Ravelry, you can post in The Shetland Trader discussions for help from me and other knitters. Or, you can reach out to me via the form on my contact page.

What are your favorite yarn brands?

I love working with 100% Shetland wool for most of my designs. I mainly use Jamieson’s of Shetland and Jamieson and Smith in my designs.

I’m a beginner knitter. Are your patterns beginner-friendly?

Yes. I don’t rate my patterns by difficulty because I believe every knitter can make something beautiful with the right guidance. My patterns are detailed and accessible, and I link to video resources where helpful.

How can I participate in a Knit-A-Long?

Details for Knit-A-Longs are always announced on my Instagram. That’s the best place to find dates, sign-up info, and updates.

Can I sign up to be a test knitter?

Currently the best way to be considered for test knitting is to look out for calls on my Instagram and Youtube Podcast. You can also sign up to my newsletter to learn about upcoming tests.

Are you from Shetland?

I was born in Shetland and grew up in mainland Scotland. I reconnected with my heritage after my parents retired back to the islands in 2005. Today I live in the U.S., but Shetland remains at the heart of everything I design and I try to spend as much time there as possible.

I’m a yarn shop owner. Can I get wholesale access to your patterns?

Yes, shops can access my patterns for in-store sales. (To set up your shop with in-store sales, please see Ravelry’s instructions here).

If you wish to run a specific kit for one of my patterns then I can also offer a batch of codes via Ravelry and would invoice separately via Paypal. Please contact me to request the codes.

I’m a yarn store owner and would like to host you for a workshop, class, or trunk show. How do I get in touch?

You can submit an inquiry through my contact page.

I have a question not answered here.
