Islesburgh Toorie Shetland Wool Week Hat pattern

The patrons and hat design for Shetland Wool Week 2024 have been announced!

This year’s patrons are the wonderful Doull family from Islesburgh, Northmavine.

“The Islesburgh Toorie shines a spotlight on Shetland sheep and their wonderful wool, the product on which Shetland Wool Week is built”

”The hat, which is named after the family farm, has been designed by Anne, and features a distinctive Shetland Ram motif, a tribute to the family involvement with the Shetland Flock Book. The inclusion of the print of the wave lace pattern celebrates Margaret’s skilful knitted lace. The colourways are inspired by the many natural shades of their Shetland flock and the heather filled hills and sunset views from the farm.”
