Synopsis

From the intricate cockleshell and bird's-eye stitches that constitute the airy Sky and Sea Scarf to the original fish motif of the Kishie Shawl, from the hearty practicality of the Lerwick Harbour Hap to the elegant Voe Cowl, and to the vine, stone wall, and bumblebee motifs of the ambitious Kailyard Pi Shawl, Ultima Thule is a tribute to the northernmost point of Scotland -- the Shetland Islands. Designer Denise Bell offers a range of original patterns, from exquisite lace to sturdy garter stitch, all featuring yarns from her own Lost City Knits line or from Jamieson & Smith Wool Brokers of Shetland. Chris Dykes offers photographs of Shet|and's remarkable scenery and shares some of his encounters with lifelong Shetlanders.
