Pure Wool Fair Isle Knit | Olive

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

Grounded, soft, and quietly versatile, our Fair Isle Knit in Olive & Oat brings together heritage Scottish craftsmanship with the practical beauty GGCo is known for.

The muted olive-toned body offers an easy, nature-led depth that feels effortlessly wearable, while the soft oat Fair Isle detailing at the collar and cuffs introduces a gentle contrast — classic, 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.

Olive & Oat (formerly Spruce & Putty) is one of our refreshed colourways, thoughtfully renamed to reflect the updated yarn tones while maintaining the spirit of the original favourite. While Spruce & Putty was often confused for a Charcoal colour because it was such a grey green, Olive & Oat is a warmer, more yellow-based, Scotch pine, olive green.
