Starting with a 'needle-sized' history of Fair Isle knitting, its origins and traditions, this book covers the practicalities of knitting Fair Isle designs. Before moving on to patterns and projects, the author advises on suitable yarns, equipment and embellishments. There is an inspiring chapter on colour, with ideas on how to combine colours creatively for different effects. Later chapters on traditional border designs and Fair Isle patterns illustrate how colour variation can change the look of the overall design.
