  • For knitters who are interested in the provenance and heritage of the sheep and wool the designs are knitted with, the book also contains a fascinating insight into the islands' native breeds, desirable properties of wool and an insight into the tradition of knitting in island life.

A treat for knitters and armchair travellers alike, Island Knitting invites you to explore the rugged beauty of these four unique islands: the Scottish islands of Shetland and the Hebrides, and the Swedish islands of Gotland and Blidö.
