Fraser Knitwear scarves: made in Shetland - a Grey Fox photoshoot

Wednesday, 9 December 2015

No matter how good your coat and hat, you're always going to feel the cold without a good scarf. Fraser scarves are made in the Shetland Isles, the home of Fair Isle knitting. The islands' position to the far north of the Scottish mainland has for centuries put them at the centre of trading routes with Scandinavia and the Baltic, leaving cultural influences including the rich patterns of Fair Isle knitwear. 

We're lucky, living in our ancient, multicultural country here in the UK, to be able to raid a rich seam of historic clothing design and wear tweeds, tartans, knitwear adapting it from its original uses to wear in town or country, for formal or informal. For our photo shoot, Joan Fraser asked us to portray her beautiful scarves in an urban setting. 


 


Made from lambswool or cashmere, the scarves come in a very natural range of colours from monochromes, soft blues, through dove greys and stone to chocolate brown. Contemporary and understated, they've rapidly become my favourites: the lengths are ideal, they are soft, warm and comfortable and bring a subtle mix of contemporary and historic design to enhance any casual or formal look. With their Fair Isle designs they also make excellent Christmas presents. See Fraser Knitwear for more information and to buy. Prices from £60 to £110.
