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. Our winters have a reputation of being very long and dark, but they do offer some stunning night skies: a sparkling array of stars, the occasional crisp, snowy night and of course, the Northern Lights, or Mirrie Dancers as we call them here.
