Description
The inspiration began with the colours of Aister ‘oo’ yarn, combined with my first visit to Fair Isle – I was lucky the weather was bright for the whole four days! The blues are reminiscent of looking through the sea at a sandy geo; the rich dark brown, of the seaweed. Taing is a place in Fair Isle, meaning a point of land in Old Norse and found in different forms across Shetland, all linked to the sea. The motifs chosen spoke strongly of the traditional Fair Isle patterns seen in the museum on the isle.
Kit contains the 5 shades of Aister Oo 2ply equivalent to a 4ply or fingering weight yarn required for either size of the socks plus a hard copy of the pattern.
Pattern available also available in a digital version if wished and can be sent on request.
