Shetland Shades: Stories in Wool by Gudrun Johnston

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 colour — mixing together the different shades of nature through techniques such as colour blocking, marling, mosaic knitting and traditional Fair Isle. 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: Stories in Wool invites you to be inspired by wind-swept shores, earthy tones, and centuries of crafting.

Shetland Shades: Stories in Wool

This Gudrun Johnston title brings together pattern design and personal reflection in a book rooted in Shetland shades, stories in wool, and a deep respect for textile heritage.
