*** NEW ***
Jamiesons Shetland Lace Hap Shawls
Knitting Patterns of the 1940's
Jane Waller

Featuring over 50 designs with 18 using a wide range of our own ( Jamieson & Smith )  knitting yarns.

This is a well researched book that contains many photographs depicting the knitting trends prevalent at a time when wool was a major force in fashion.

" The true joy of knitting is only obtained when it becomes a creative craft. The decree of fashion demands much more than the mere utility, so that the knitting art, practiced in this way, becomes not merely a pleasing and useful relaxation, but also a genuine means of self expression.
Marjorie Tilliston " Knitting Book" 1945.

The photographs to the right are of the "Lady's Jumper", knitted in our lace yarn L68, featured in the book.
