Collection: Fair Isle Knitting

Quality Shetland Wool Kits

Step into the world of Fair Isle knitting, where tradition, colour, and Shetland heritage come together stitch by stitch. At Jamieson & Smith, we have spent generations celebrating this iconic style, and our collection of patterns and kits brings the joy of Fair Isle knitting straight to your needles. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just beginning to explore colourwork, there is something here to inspire you.

Our patterns combine classic designs with fresh, contemporary takes, each one a little story in wool. From cosy jumpers that carry the history of the islands to smaller projects that make a perfect quick knit, our Fair Isle kits include our own-brand Shetland yarn in colours that sing. Every ball and every shade is chosen to make your colourwork pop and to give your project the authenticity that comes from using true Shetland wool from Shetland itself.

Fair Isle knitting can look intricate, but with the right guidance, it is incredibly rewarding. Our patterns are carefully written, guiding you through each motif, chart, and colour change so you can enjoy the process as much as the finished piece. We offer a wide range of in-house designs alongside patterns by local and international designers who share a similar ethos. With a kit in hand, you have everything you need to bring your design to life, from beautiful wool to a tried-and-tested pattern and a little bit of Shetland in every stitch.

Choosing Jamieson & Smith for your Fair Isle knitting is more than just picking up a kit; it is joining a tradition. Every purchase supports local Shetland suppliers and helps keep these island crafts alive. Whether you are knitting for yourself, for a gift, or simply for the love of it, our Fair Isle patterns and kits invite you to connect with a craft that has been cherished for generations. Explore our collection today and see how a few colours and a little patience can turn wool into something truly special.
