Shetland Shades: Stories In Wool

Sale price$45.00
(5.0)

I AM CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK BUT MORE COPIES ARE ON THE WAY! YOU CAN PLACE AN ORDER NOW AND THE BOOK WILL BE SHIPPED AS SOON AS IT ARRIVES (APPROXIMATELY OCT 5TH). ALL COPIES COME SIGNED BY GUDRUN.

 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.

it’s an absolutely beautiful book. I’d already made the Riggies vest—just bought yarn for two others. ❤️

Content is wonderful. Beautiful patterns and photos. Only giving 4 stars because the book binding quality is poor and broke away from the pages as soon as I opened it.

Beautiful photography! Presents a good variety of vest styles that are unique in design and skill level. I look forward to casting on a couple of the stash-busting designs soon. I especially love the book binding design which allows the book to open flat which makes it so much easier to use!

I love Gudrun's knitting style and color choices, this book doesn't disappoint. Since my husband and I visited Shetland this past year and I bought yarn from there, I can't wait to knit my souvenir project. Gorgeous book.

I am in love with this book. The smell, the binding, the knitting patterns and stunning scenary create a special experience. It surpassed my expectations, truly! Little touches like adding where sewing patterns can be found for items worn with the knitted pattern just made me so happy. Thank you for a high quality book that is a total experience!

A stunning book that encompasses the spirit of Shetland in colour and narrative. And the patterns are such that I am inspired to knit each one! Also, the binding demonstrates an additional level of detail. Well done, Team Gudrun!!

A masterpiece of a book! This book is a treasure of gorgeous patterns, photography, and quality print and binding. The soft pages make it feel as traditional as the beautiful patterns it displays. We are so excited to knit each and every pattern! Thank you for publishing such a special book!

This is a lovely book. Love the binding in particular, as well as the patterns, of course. I will likely knit 3 or 4 of the patterns. I am not a fan of cropped style garments. I do not think they are flattering to most people, so I will lengthen them and will need to figure out how much yarn to buy. Excellent book! Arrived well packaged and very quickly.

The book is beautiful and there are several patterns I'd like to knit. I wondered about the binding, but heard that it's supposed to be that way. I love the vest collection.

I am loving the book and patterns and am already planning to cast on the Vaddel and Hairst! I live in a warm climate so vests are my main way to wear wool.
