Textile design

Knitted in extra-fine merino, in a complex 5 colour jacquard, this jumper, from our 10^th anniversary collection, is inspired by the colour and texture that surrounds the Nielanell studio in our home village of Hoswick, Shetland.

The pattern features a detail based on a mark-making by Niela. A broken-up fishing buoy, found on the beach just a few hundred yards from the studio, gives the highlight colour.

Colour

Choose from sea greys or sea blues, highlighted with an almost-fluoro orange or yellow.

Sizing & fit

The jumper has a wide funnel-ish neck, which can be worn standing up, turned down or rolled—as you like. The sweater can be worn front-to-back or back-to-front. Choose which area of pattern you want to sit where!

Manufacture

We are committed to sustaining and being part of UK knitwear manufacturing – and Shetland’s place in this.

• We design Nielanell knitwear in our Hoswick studio, with initial concepts carefully translated into the flat panels needed to make up each piece.
• Currently, for this garment, we are working with specialist knitters in Mainland UK to make these panels.
• The garment itself is made in Shetland. Our in-house team in Hoswick transforms the flat panels into a wearable piece of knitwear using linking (a skilled knitting process) and hand-finishing.
• Our knitwear is made in very small batches, slowly. Each piece of Nielanell knitwear can take approximately 12-16 weeks (often longer) from weighing out the yarn needed in our studio to the garment being ready to wear.
