About the Design
Imagine the beautiful colours of wild flowers, the textures of the landscape, evocative, sweet fragrances and endearing sounds of birdsong and buzzing bees, all to be encountered and savoured as you stroll through the glorious English countryside.
This is the inspiration behind the Country Fair Isle design, from Michael Ross; these images, scenes and sensations were combined and translated into a rich palette of colour and pattern to reflect the feeling and atmosphere of a country walk.
Because of the impact that light has on these images at different times of the day, there are two versions – night and day, both relating to their traditional English knitwear heritage. This Fair Isle pattern was originally created in 1982, for the iconic fashion designer Laura Ashley and featured in sweaters and blankets.
Designed in England and crafted today in 100% Wool by hand knitting machine in our own workshops in Thatcham, England, our Country Fair Isle design demonstrates Michael Ross’s continuous commitment to original design and top quality materials and construction methods.
With Fair Isle enjoying a resurgence, you’ll be bang on trend, whichever colourway you choose. Country Fair Isle - a true and enduring modern classic.
The Colour:
Celebrating the rich, deep, jewel colours of an Autumnal landscape.
A geometric reflection of hues encountered on a country walk, during the autumn months; leaves falling from the trees, rusting softly under foot, amidst the snap of a stick, buried beneath, the occasional chestnut, smooth and shiny, having burst from its prickly green overcoat, and brightly coloured berries - a blaze of reds, oranges, yellows and browns; toffee apples; flickering flames in the wood burning stove, once back home, the reassuring crackle of the fire and the cosy warm glow of the embers; the rapidly darkening sky at dusk… contentment.
