Featuring an abundance of local talent, each volume brings together gorgeous photography, knitting patterns from Shetland’s top designers, walking routes, recipes, stories and interviews. Like their producer, they are full of warmth and appreciation for what it means to live and work in Shetland.

  • 6 knitting patterns
  • 4 sheepy, woolly features focusing on Shetland’s textiles, past and present

  • 3 exciting coastal walks
  • 8 recipes (including one for the famous Reesit Mutton soup)
