Fair Isle Sweater History.
The Fair Isle sweater is a regional product, and when it comes to it, we have to talk about its origins - Fair Isle, a small island in the Shetland Islands in northern Scotland.
It is sparsely populated, with men living by shepherding sheep and fishing all year round, and the women of the family knit sweaters that can be sold to supplement the family in addition to keeping out the cold.
Fair Island has both the sea and the mountains, and is located in the main sea route of many countries, where the culture is mixed and intermingled, and its special regional culture makes knitwear present a very diverse variety of colors and patterns.
Therefore, the most prominent feature of the Fair Isle sweater is that its patterns are made of local materials - fishing nets, crosses, diamonds, fern leaves, waves, and the colors come from the white, dark gray, honey, brown and so on of the sheep.
This makes the Fair Isle sweater have a complex and regular pattern beauty, as well as the harmonious beauty of various natural colors, as well as the jacquard weaving process, which together can be said to be a work of art in itself.
