Mary Macgregor produces luxury contemporary Fair Isle textiles. Having extensively researched the market prior to launching, she realised that there was a gap at the fine gauge end; noone was producing fine Fair Isle knitwear. Her work fills that gap. She also noticed that the oldest patterns were in danger of dying out through lack of use, so decided to find her inspiration uniquely in those motifs. Similarly, she has faithfully replicated the old natural colours.
