Shetland Wool Week Annual 2025

The Shetland Wool Week Annual Volume 11 includes eight stunning patterns that highlight the versatility and beauty of Shetland wool. From a cosy jacket to the finest lace, from bold Fair Isle colours to subtle textures, the designs highlight the remarkable versatility of Shetland wool.
Alongside the knitting, we share stories that honour our heritage breeds, our agricultural traditions, and the deep personal connections we hold with knitwear. Whether you knit every stitch or simply admire the craft, we hope this Annual brings inspiration and joy.
