Simply Shetland 4: At Tomales Bay by various
Tomales Bay's casual charm makes it the perfect setting for our fall knitting book. As always, we offer traditional Shetland wools knitted up into clothes with a modern, casual look. Eunny Jang's stunning Autumn Rose Pullover takes Fair Isle knitting into the new century, with fitted shaping and a compound angle raglan sleeve. Carol Lapin's tiered Drake's Bay Jacket & Coat and Tomales Bay Skirt once again use traditional yarns in modern ways.
This year, we introduce two new yarns. Blended with luxury fibers, both retain the rusticity, coloring and life of traditional Shetland wool while providing a beautifully rich and unexpected hand. Our SILK & SHETLAND LAMBSWOOL version of the Duxbury Point Pullover turns a finely knit Aran garment into a work of elegance. The character of our SHETLAND LAMBSWOOL & CASHMERE is beautifully showcased in the Olema Turtleneck Pullover and Hat. It is a knitting yarn with all the character expected of Scottish wool with enough cashmere to allow the cozy turtleneck design.
This year's collection is by far the most varied of our books. Though we will always love the technique and beauty of an Aran shawl, we also enjoy the excitement of a design like Passive Polka Dots. Enjoy your trip around Tomales Bay. We're sure you'll find something fun to knit and wonderful to wear for years to come.
