The Woolly Thistle is proud to offer Marie Wallin's book, Westmorland. This collection features 10 Fairisle and stitch textured designs by Marie, using her BRITISH BREEDS yarn. The pattern designs in Westmorland are largely inspired by European ornamental design and Far East textile and carpet design, along with mixtures of more traditional motifs. The plain textured stitch designs are inspired by traditional twisted stitches and cables. This collection includes:

• 4 women's sweaters
• 3 men's sweaters
• 1 cowl
• 1 wrap
• 1 fingerless mitts design
