AIBU to wear a Fairisle jumper as soon as it gets cold and not keep for Xmas?

[Ruizy]

I love Fairisle and wear them as soon as it gets a bit chilly. But a shop assistant said to me the other day that she loved my jumper as it was lovely and festive. And I was a bit embarrassed, do people think they are Christmas jumpers? It’s is navy/brown/purple so not festive colours.

Fair Isle can be worn at any time. In summer if required.

I think they are beautiful and have never seen them as festive.
Wear your lovely jumper.

That’s what I wanted to hear. I wear on cold September days. But I just thought maybe people are looking at me wondering why I am wearing a Xmas jumper in September!

Definitely wear it, the shop assistant obviously didn't know what she was talking about!

I wear my fairisle jumpers as soon as it’s cold… just like all my jumpers.
I love fairisle so I say wear whenever you like!

I’m in Scotland so it’s only really June/July that is too hot for a woolly jumper lol!

No, fair isle is definitely for all year round!

Thank you!

I see them as festive but not exclusively festive if you know what I mean!

You sound ridiculous and also that you created this thread to promote this company and then all the posters have also, for some magically unknown reason, just happened to be on here at the same time to also heap praise on this company that nobody has ever heard of.

I think maybe some people do see them as a bit festive. But as long as I don’t look really odd that’s ok with me

On Scandi crime shows they wear them all the time. I have never thought of them as festive.

Fair isle is not a company! I buy my from a hand knitted shop in Scotland

What are you talking about??
Fairisle has been around since the 1800s! It's a heritage brand from the Shetland Isles.

Sorry that was answer to keyansier

I think they are wintery as opposed to festive and I really like them - that's maybe what she meant! I wouldn't see them as purely a Christmas jumper!

Fair isle is a pattern!

Honestly! Talk about ignorant. Some people......

I want a fair isle jumper now!!

Fairisle thread

Have you seen this recent Fairisle thread. Lots of lovely jumpers posted there.

Yes I do love them. I think cos I tend to think I can’t go out of fashion as they are kind of just traditional. So it’s a safe option for me

What are you talking about? The OP hasn’t named a company and she is not promoting one. She’s talking about a style of knitting pattern that’s very old and famous.

Which company?

Also isn’t Fair Isle an Island?

I think some Fairisle jumpers are Christmas-y, ie. If they have snowflakes in the pattern, but others are fine.
