Hello everyone, we are delighted to tell you that Wirsit Inspo Volume 3 is now available! Continuing our journey of colour and landscape, we are delighted to present the third volume of our #wirsitinspo series. In this latest instalment, we continue to celebrate the connection between our wool and the landscape that inspires it. This collection features over 60 more inspirational images curated from our #wirsitinspo posts. Almost all were captured here in Shetland, with one image taken in mainland Scotland. This time, we have ordered the images as they were taken through the year. Each photograph is paired with shades from our extensive 2ply Jumper Weight range, highlighting the natural harmony between our landscape and yarn. You can also find a bundle here containing all three Volumes at a reduced price of £24, which is a 20% saving on the three individually. Happy Knitting!
