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 color — 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.
