| Brief description | Jumper of hand-knitted Shetland Fair Isle wool, made by Annie Thomson, Scotland, 1997 |
| Physical description | Jumper made of red, blue, yellow, black and white hand-knitted Shetland Fair Isle wool. |
| Gallery label | Annie Thomson is the last woman born on Fair Isle to hand-knit traditional sweaters for sale. This jumper is made in the round using five needles and a knitting belt; the sleeves are knitted downwards from the shoulders, so that they can be replaced when they have worn through. Annie Thomson is now 75 years old, so this is probably the last jumper that Annie will hand-knit for anyone outside her family. The wool was spun and dyed in a Shetland mill.(1997) |
