At this time it looks as though the art of Fair Isle is making a huge comeback. Old magazines are being sought in every nook and cranny. Newer yarns are now colored to automatically create Fair Isle colour patterns. This particular book was written by Ann Feitelson who spent considerable time on the Shetland Islands.

This book is more than just patterns; yet there are some classics of socks, gloves, mittens, scarves, and mostly swatters. The real worth that makes this book stand out from the others is the history with pictures in monochrome and colour.
The background sections are lavishly illustrated with colour photographs of historic Fair Isle garments; Fair Isle colour theory is demonstrated; and the more than 20 original Fair Isle garments by Feitelson are illustrated with both colour photos and colour charts.
