Connecting through the Loop...

Craft or Art? Women's work at home or connecting cultures?

We have an International Textile Festival being held  here in Shetland next week. . Planned around visiting Scandinavian textile artists, a great deal of exciting connections are being made. Covering several venues, with a menu of differing talks, demonstrations and events, the Festival builds on a theme of creativity in textiles. 

We think these special textile inspired stationery items would be great for the delegates to take home. A folder for creative ideas and colour swatches?  A lace notebook to detail patterns?  And maybe a glasses cleaner to see those Fair Isle stitches more easily! 

And these mini gifts are fun. Key rings in haaf cap and gansey designs. Set of magnets with Fair Isle designs from the Shetland Museum and Archives collection.

Browse through our Heritage shop and see all these and more.
