Shetland Wool Week Annual 2026

The Shetland Wool Week Annual Volume 12 includes 7 Fair Isle and lace patterns by Shetland knitwear designers and includes an insight into Shetland’s seasons, and the ways in which weather, culture, and the natural environment continue to influence design.

For this edition, four designers were invited to create patterns inspired by the seasons of Shetland. Local broadcaster and journalist Claire White accompanies each pattern with a feature exploring the season that inspired it, while also introducing the designer behind the design and offering a thoughtful glimpse into life in Shetland.
