Textile design

Knitted in extra-fine merino, in a complex 5 colour jacquard, this scarf, 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 angular motif in the scarf is based on rooflines and worked across a background of seascape – which can be seen from all around.

Colour

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

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.
