Fair Isle patterns! Fair Isle colors! Fair Isle history! Fair Isle people! You'll find them all in this comprehensive new book. An art historian and practicing fiber artist, author Ann Feitelson has visited the Shetland Islands often to bring this distinctive knitting style to life. The historical sections are lavishly illustrated with color photographs of historic Fair Isle garments; Fair Isle color theory is exhaustively demonstrated with actual knitted samples; and the original Fair Isle garments by Feitelson are illustrated with both color photos and color charts.
