🍂The SWW Annual 2026 is available to pre-order!

It’s September and we’re on the countdown to Shetland Wool Week which means that it’s time for Volume 12 of the Shetland Wool Week Annual!

This year’s theme, ‘Knitting with the Seasons of Shetland’, explores the colours, textures, and character of Shetland throughout the year, and the ways its weather, culture and natural environment influence and inspire knitwear design.

🧶Inside you’ll find seven patterns all using Shetland wool:
🔸Haust Glivs | Emily Ivor Poleson
🔸Shaded Diamond Socks | Lesley Smith
🔸Vetch Jumper | Mandy Moore
🔸Da Hömin Tunic | Shetland Handspun
🔸Quenta Cowl | Ella Gordon Designs
🔸Bakka Beanie by Annie Garrick / Shetland Peerie Makkers
🔸Birsie Beanny | Helen Robertson Design

🖊️Four in depth features by White exploring Shetland’s seasons, activities and traditions that shape island life.

We’ve also made a few changes to the publication this year, with a fresh new look that we hope you’ll enjoy.

➡️ Available in print or digital form (or a bundle pack of both)

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing you to the people behind the organisation, sharing what we do, and giving you a glimpse of what’s to come.

👀 Keep an eye on our socials for all the latest updates!

To kick things off, we’re starting with our Trustees.

✨ Watch this space… there’s plenty more to come! ✨
