Makers Focus: Fair Isle Jumpers

Some trends come and go, but Fair Isle Jumpers, a classic knitting technique that originated from a small Scottish island of

the same name, is one that has remained still. It has weaved its way through fashion history and remains as relevant today

as it was in the past.

Fair Isle knitting has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. This intricate technique was born on the remote Fair Isle,

one of the Shetland Islands in Scotland. The traditional patterns characterised by their use of colours and designs have

been passed down through generations.

The timeless Fair Isle patterns are versatile, allowing them to blend into contemporary fashion. Whether you’re staying inside for

a cosy Sunday or heading uptown, they offer a pop of colour to outfits. Fair Isle’s are known for its warmth and comfort,

making it perfect for those colder months. The world is increasingly turning towards sustainable and authentic fashion.

Our Fair Isle’s are handcrafted and made from high-quality materials, ensuring longevity and eco-friendliness.

Pair your Fair Isle jumper with a pair of high-waisted jeans and ankle boots for a relaxed look. Accessorise with a chunky scarf and a beanie for

added warmth. Layer your Fair Isle under your favourite seasonal jacket and combine this with a skirt and biker boots to achieve that

perfect autumn look. Fair Isle jumpers can also be office-appropriate. Wear it with tailored trousers and classic loafers for a sophisticated

touch. For a laidback look, go for a chunky Fair Isle to pair with leggings, sneakers and a classic trench. Don’t forget to add

some oversized sunglasses for a touch of glamour.

Fair Isle isn’t just a trend; it’s a British legacy that continues to evolve. Whether you’re dressing up for the office,

a casual weekend, or a special lunch out, your Fair Isle jumper will make you feel cosy and confident. Embrace the

tradition and make Fair Isle a part of your capsule wardrobe, because classics never go out of style.
