I can supply yarn pacs in Jamieson yarns for two
recent Fair Isle Knitting books.
Mary Jane Mucklestone's Fair Isle Weekend takes
you on a trip to Fair Isle. The book includes 8 colorwork patterns to knit in shetland wool: 2 sweaters,
a vest, 2 hats, a cowl, fingerless mitts, and wristlets. The sweater patterns are written for
a wide range of women's sizes. I can supply the book and yarn pacs.
Knitting From Fair Isle by Mati
Ventrillon includes 15 contemporary designs inspired by tradition. Each design is written in 3 different
colorways of Jamieson Spindrift: 2 grayscale colors,
4-5 traditional colors, and a blue or olive colorway using 6-8 colors. The designs are based on a common
set of motifs and include fingerless mitts, wrist warmers, hats, scarves, a neck warmer, a vest, a poncho,
and pullovers for men and women. I do not have a wholesale source for this book, so can only supply the
yarn pacs. The e-book version is available through
Google Play,
Amazon,
and Barnes & Noble.

I am now carrying Jamieson Cobweb Ultra. This is a
single ply yarn designed for wedding ring type shawls and could be used in the
J&S lace patterns I have.
The 2020 Shetland Wool Week pattern, Katie's Kep, is now available free on their site.
The colorway shown here is knit in 5 colors of Jamieson Spindrift.
I currently have enough of the colors used for 5 yarnpacs.
Once that's gone, I will not be able to get all the colors used until Jamieson's resumes shipping from the UK to my US supplier.
