Glenshee 24 Stitch Fair Isle Ensemble |
|||
 |
The Fair Isle
sweater - an original interpretation of a traditional Norwegian Star
design - is knitted in 4 ply yarn which is 80% Acrylic and 20% wool (Spectrum
Tango or Forsell Shamal).
Designed with short floats (which also adds warmth to the construction) and doubled welts and cuffs to eliminate draughts! Whatever the weather, this sweater with its cheerful, bright design, is sure to lift your spirits! To fit sizes 32"-46". |
|||
|
For the great outdoors,
team the sweater with this
range of accessories.
In some of the sizes it's possible to knit the sweater, hat, mittens and the shorter stole scarf from only two 500g cones of yarn. |
|
|||
 |
Start off with a hat
that really keeps out the cold and frames your face attractively
with its extra thick folded brim.
The tassel is optional. |
|||
| Now warm up those fingers with a pair of mittens! (For even more warmth, wear them as overmitts, over your close fitting gloves). Fronts and backs of these mittens are alike. |
|
|||
|
Our scarf
is narrower than the stole scarf in Aviemore, double thickness with
stripes of the 'mitten' pattern at each end.
It has sufficient substance to drape across your shoulders attractively - or - if you are caught in a snow flurry - just drape the scarf over your hair, throw the ends over your shoulders, and stay dry with style! (If you have extra yarn you can make the scarf longer). |
|||
|
The traditional Fisherman's
rib comforter scarf coordinates beautifully with the Fair isle sweater
and accessories. The shorter length is perfect for wearing the scarf tucked into
a winter coat.
If extra yarn is available, you may prefer to knit the longer length so that you can wear the scarf the modern way - fold it in half, place round your shoulders, and thread the ends through the loop, adjust as required. |
