Blanket Care

This blanket is made from 85% British Wool (Merino Lambswool & 15% cotton). As such this blanket is robust and will wear well. Animal hairs can be removed by hoovering. Small stains can be removed with a damp cloth. I suggest airing this quilt periodically to refresh it. For a thorough clean, I recommend Dry Clean Only.

*Fair Isle (/fɛəraɪ̯l/) is a traditional knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours. It is named after Fair Isle, one of the Shetland islands. Fair Isle knitting gained considerable popularity when the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) wore Fair Isle jumpers in public in 1921. Traditional Fair Isle patterns have a limited palette of five or so colours, use only two colours per row, are worked in the round, and limit the length of a run of any particular colour.^[1]

Some people use the term “Fair Isle” to refer to any colourwork knitting where stitches are knitted alternately in various colours, with the unused colours stranded across the back of the work. Others use the term “stranded colourwork” for the generic technique, and reserve the term “Fair Isle” for the characteristic patterns of the Shetland Islands.^[2]

Other techniques for knitting in colour include intarsia, slip-stitch colour (also known as mosaic knitting).
