These needlepoint designs are inspired by the rich knitting traditions of Shetland.
They feature patterns found in traditional Fair Isle knitting, and are worked in the same Shetland wool too, all grown here on the islands.
Each design reflects a season in Shetland, and nothing says Shetland summer like the arrival of the puffins to Sumburgh Head.
The puffins only stay on land for a couple of months in the summer, spending the rest of the year at sea. Here they dig burrows on the lichen-covered rocks, among the tufts of Sea Pinks,and raise their young until they are ready to head back to sea.
