    “THE NATURAL colours of the Shetland sheep give a unique definition to the colour changes in this Fair Isle pattern - and the traditional motif patterns were great fun to put together,” explains Mary Henderson. “The Shetland Supreme yarn gives a soft fabric with a lovely drape.” Mary’s tank top has been designed with lots of positive ease to give a relaxed fit.
