Judith designed this unique pattern in 1987 it was one of the first designs that she made. It represents Viking Runes or you could call it Viking Graffiti! Runes are found in the Neolithic tomb of Maeshowe on the Orkney mainland. Don't worry translated it simply says " Orkney" in Runic writing! This tunic with Runes welts and cuffs and split front is painstakingly handmade by one of Judith's Island knitters from soft Scottish lambswool.
and each piece is shaped by hand on a small domestic knitting machine then sewn together and finished by hand. When you buy a garment from Judith you are truly buying an item that has been painstakingly made in a home and not mass manufactured. 
This tunic comes in three different colours
As Judith only has a small local team of six knitters and finishers, it is very difficult to keep the full Orkney knitwear collection in stock.
