A luxurious celebration in print of craft, creativity, adventure and all things Shetland.
Experience life in Shetland through beautiful photography and stories from some of the isles’ best writers, knitters and craftspeople.
The Shetland Wool Adventures Journal celebrates Shetland’s heritage, creativity, outdoors and adventure and allows you to escape and immerse yourself in Shetland’s rugged beauty through high quality photography, walks, stories, interviews and recipes.
In volume four we travel to Fair Isle, home of Fair Isle Knitting, and meet some of the talented knitters and entrepreneurs and there’s also a brilliant interview with Oliver Henry of Jamieson & Smith. But we’ll also learn about the harsh reality of Shetland’s historic knitting industry in a brilliant and thought provoking piece by Laurie Goodlad.
As always you can look forward to beautiful photography, six knitting patterns by local designers, features, interviews, walks, book reviews, recipes and much more.

“Starting the Shetland Wool Adventures Journal has been my dream for a long time, and I am so delighted it is now coming together.
Created during the world pandemic, it hasn’t been an easy feat, but it has brought me joy and a destination to steer towards during these difficult and uncertain times. I am delighted to have been able to start this new venture which will hopefully spread the joy of creativity and positivity further afield. And since travel is on hold for now, this way I might be able to bring a little piece of Shetland into your home too.
My aim is to inspire you through our stories, beautiful photography, knitting patterns, walks, interesting interviews, recipes and personal insights into our lives here.
But not all is rosy... Sadly, like many places, our tourism has been hit extremely hard and it will take a long time to rebuild it. We remain positive though, and through initiatives like this Journal we will provide as much support as we can to the promotion of our tourism industry. By purchasing a copy of the Journal you are supporting many Shetland small creative and tourism businesses. And hopefully those of you who are not able to make your Shetland trip this year will find solace in this new publication and for those of you who dream of visiting our isles, the Journal will take you closer.”
