Where it came from
Jamieson's Shetland Knitting Book, authored by David Colding and published by Unicorn in 2001, serves as a dedicated tribute to the heritage of Shetland wool production. It emerged during a period of renewed global interest in traditional European fiber arts, specifically focusing on the distinctive spinning and knitting techniques associated with the Jamieson of Shetland mill, a cornerstone of the island's textile industry.
The book functions as both a technical guide and a cultural repository, documenting the intricate Fair Isle patterns and lace work that define the region's historical craft. Colding's approach was to bridge the gap between traditional Shetland practices and the requirements of modern knitters, providing clear instructions that respect the nuanced tension and color-work traditions that have been passed down through generations of island artisans.
