Fair Isle Knitting in the Shetland Islands

Join Jennifer Daley on a journey through the textile history and color of Shetland wool and Fair Isle knitting. Jennifer will discuss Shetland sheep and wool, and she will unveil the evolution of Fair Isle knitting. Her presentation will be illustrated with historic Fair Isle garments, and she will discuss Fair Isle motifs, patterns, and color.

This fun and informative presentation will integrate traditional Fair Isle knitted fisherman’s keps. Long associated with Fair Isle, fisherman’s keps are hats of conical shape and colorful design. Historically a necessity for survival at sea for fishermen and sailors, keps are today considered an entertaining and interesting way to display a knitter’s skill for design and color. Please join us for this special presentation of Fair Isle knitting in the Shetland Islands!
