Dark Blue Fair Isle Jumper
From Fair Isle in the Shetland Islands, Scotland! This dark blue
jumper with intricate details is the best quality you shall find in
the world! Perfect for any winter activity and only found in SCOTLAND!
(to make a full size sweater), applying more than sixty years of hand
knitting skills, still earns about £65. Yet, native born Scotsman made
(really) good, fashion designer Alexander McQueen realises £240 for
a Fair Isle style sweater made on a machine, in Italy and of merino wool.
What's equally important is that the purchase of Mr. McQueen's or any
other 'label' offering 'Fair Isle style' fosters the further decline of the
Shetland economy and an irreplaceable loss of a piece of Scotland's
rich cultural heritage.
