Wirsit Inspo
Hello everyone, If you follow our Instagram or Facebook page you will have seen over the past few months we have started doing weekly ‘Wirsit Inspo’ posts. basically, its where we take an image of something in Shetland and put a palette together inspired by the picture. I have mainly done them in 2ply Jumper Weight but have done one in 2ply Lace and I’m going to try and use more ranges too. When we post them they always get really good feedback so I thought we would share them here too:

happy knitting!

Love these combinations. Especially useful for those of us who cannot visit you in person.
I have been loving these posts. Really gives me confidence to try something creative with colour. Marion

Perfect combinations. Great job.!
The photos are fabulous and the colour combinations in the wool balls are inspirational. They really put a smile on my face. Well done.
I live on Shetland and Jamiesons yarn is perfect for recreating colours of the natural landscape. The first palate shown reminds me of Jarlshof an amazing place in itself archaeologically. I copied colours from the lichen on the ancient stones, the grass, wild flowers and the sea. Lindsay Dowding #shetlandwritingandliving.com
That’s a fab idea. Really helpful for those of us who have trouble putting colours together.
