Shetland All-Over Fair Isle Cardigan - Dark Green
ITEM COLORS
Cardigan All Over Fair Isle Shetland
Product description
The Cardigan All Over Fair Isle Shetland is made of 100% soft Shetland wool and Made in Scotland, with a Fair Isle knit that covers the entire surface of the design.
The line is classic and feminine, with a crew neck, full front opening and horn buttons. The length reaches approximately to the hips, while the sleeves follow a regular line and end with ribbed cuffs.
The cardigan is characterized above all by the all over Fair Isle pattern: a continuous succession of small geometric designs and color bands runs across the body and sleeves, creating a rich but balanced surface. The bottom edge and cuffs introduce a traditional striped knit, which defines the structure of the design and creates a sharper contrast with the main pattern.
In the Verdone variant, the different shades alternate within the Fair Isle patterns, highlighting the depth and natural color richness of the Shetland wool.
The All Over Fair Isle Knit
The expression “all over” refers to a knit in which the decorative pattern is not concentrated only in one part of the garment, as in the classic yoke, but develops over the entire surface of the cardigan.
In this model, the Fair Isle therefore runs across the body and sleeves through a continuous sequence of bands and small geometric patterns.
The Fair Isle technique involves working multiple colors simultaneously within the same row, with the unused yarns carried to the back of the knit. To achieve a regular result, it is necessary to maintain a constant tension of the yarns, distribute the colors correctly, and preserve the continuity and proportion of the design along all parts of the design.
In an all over knit, this precision takes on even greater importance: the pattern must maintain rhythm and uniformity across the bust and sleeves, creating a continuous and harmonious surface.
It is a construction that requires attention both in the knitting process and in the color balance, and it is one of the most recognizable examples of the British knitting tradition.
Shetland Wool
The cardigan is made of 100% Shetland wool, a fiber linked to the eponymous islands north of Scotland and historically associated with the production of Fair Isle knitwear.
Shetland wool is appreciated for its balance between warmth, lightness, and structure. Its naturally lively surface particularly enhances multicolored patterns, because the different shades gain depth and a slight irregularity that makes the design less flat and more textured.
In this version, the wool has a soft and pleasant feel, while still maintaining the typical character of the Shetland fiber.
The Design
The construction maintains classic proportions and a regular fit.
The cardigan reaches approximately to the hips and features a simple crew neck, front opening with buttons, and long sleeves.
The horn buttons add a natural and traditional detail, while the striped pattern on the bottom and cuffs recalls the typical finishes of Fair Isle knitwear and creates a more defined frame around the all over knit.
Made in Scotland
The Cardigan All Over Fair Isle Shetland is Made in Scotland, maintaining a direct link with one of the most important European traditions in the processing of wool and Fair Isle knitwear.
The combination of Shetland wool, multicolored knit, and Scottish craftsmanship defines the authentic character of this design.
