Manufacture
We are committed to sustaining and being part of UK knitwear manufacturing – and Shetland’s place in this.
- We design Nielanell knitwear in our Hoswick studio, with initial concepts carefully translated into the flat panels needed to make up each piece.
- Currently, for this garment, we are working with specialist knitters in Mainland UK to make these panels.
- The garment itself is made in Shetland. Our in-house team in Hoswick transforms the flat panels into a wearable piece of knitwear using linking (a skilled knitting process) and hand-finishing.
- Our knitwear is made in very small batches, slowly. Each piece of Nielanell knitwear can take approximately 12-16 weeks (often longer) from weighing out the yarn needed in our studio to the garment being ready to wear.
Ebb-stanes on the shore at Hoswick, Shetland
Landscape, line and family memory in a collection of contemporary Shetland knitwear
The tide is a moving line, revealing (and hiding) stones on the beach at Hoswick as it ebbs and flows. In Shetland these stones and pebbles are called Ebb-stanes. This shifting, natural border is so different from the man-made borders we see elsewhere.
I was thinking about line in landscape and the differences between a tide mark, a path and something much more fixed. My father was Indian, and our family became overnight refugees when a new border was drawn in 1947—The Partition of India.
These thoughts and explorations of the concept of borders became my Ebb-stanes collection. A Shetland landscape-inspired pattern is overlaid or interfaced with line, or set in neat panels. Some garments are asymmetric in design; the soft, extra-fine merino yarn gives the most beautiful finish to the array of colours.
