Yes, one of my favorite brands, BDG, is selling what? YES Fair Isle print.
Fair Isle is a traditional knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours. It is named after Fair Isle, a tiny island in the north of Scotland, that forms part of the Shetland. Traditional Fair Isle patterns have a limited palette of five or so colours, use only two colours per row, are worked in the round, and limit the length of a run of any particular colour. islands. Fair Isle knitting gained a considerable popularity when the Prince of Wales (later to become Edward VIII) wore Fair Isle Tank tops in public in 1921.
Some people use the term "Fair Isle" to refer to any colourwork knitting where stitches are knit alternately in various colors, with the unused colours stranded across the back of the work. Others use the term "stranded colourwork" for the generic technique, and reserve the term "Fair Isle" for the characteristic patterns of the Shetland Islands.

Whenever I think of Fair Isle, I think of chunky knits and cuddling with your boo with some hot cocoa in the winter. Well, for now the fashion will suffice. Dreams can be achieved later. I've been on the hunt for a cheap one too. Ok so go here to start purchasing. BDG is only sold at Urban Outfitters
