A timeless women’s Fair Isle sweater in pure Shetland wool — designed for lightweight warmth, effortless layering, and everyday wear.

Warm, grounded, and quietly refined, our Fair Isle Knit in Rye & Claret brings together heritage Scottish craftsmanship with the practical beauty GGCo is known for.

The softly spiced rye-toned body delivers earthy depth and warmth, while the claret Fair Isle detailing at the collar and cuffs introduces a subtle note of traditional character — considered, balanced, and enduring.

This is knitwear designed to work hard in real wardrobes.

A Note on Colour Transparency

For 2026, our Fair Isle knitwear is produced with a new yarn supplier. While the overall palette remains true to the GGCo. aesthetic, some tones have naturally shifted.

To ensure complete clarity and avoid confusion with past seasons, several colourways have been thoughtfully renamed to reflect the current yarn shades.

Rye & Claret is one of our new-season colourways, created to sit beautifully alongside returning favourites in their refreshed tones.
