The Foggy Foggy Summer...

Despite the trials of weather delayed flights, our visitors have not been deterred and are enjoying the Museum and their purchases from the Heritage Shop.

Fair Isle patterns complement any design and look spectacular on our new pinny and dish cloot (you could call them aprons and tea towels if you wanted)  The designs are taken from old textiles in the Shetland Museum and Archives collection. 

Mary Macgregor's book "Shetland Fair Isle Patterns"  takes many old Fair Isle patterns from the documents which first catalogued them them in the 1930's. The pattern used on the pinny and dish cloot is included there. 

Woven in France to our design, these items are exclusive to the Shetland Heritage Shop. The pinny is £25 and the dish cloot is £10.50.
