The Fair Isle Heritage Knitting Kit is a beginner’s knitting kit that celebrates Fair Isle's long knitting tradition, from the best real Shetland wool to the beautiful texture of the sea that surrounds the island on a calm day. The name - MAK-KIST - means tool box in Shetland dialect and the kit is a box with all the tools you need to start your journey into Fair Isle knitting. With this Fair Isle Heritage Knitting Kit you will be able to make a traditional Fair Isle accessories set, consisting of a pair of wrist warmers, a neck warmer and a ski hat.
It contains:
- 100% Shetland worsted wool in the Heritage colours Madder, Peat, Gold, Indigo and Natural white.
- A sample of a 2021clip, Fair Isle fleece (Shetland Wool).
- Yarn snips resembling the hand shears used in the island to 'clip' our sheep.
- A set of 6" Double Pointed, 'driftwood-finished' knitting needles. A branded cotton bag to carry your project.
- Postcard and wrist warmer instructions and chart booklet, both printed on Shetland Reeve paper. PDF files for neck warmer and hat.
