Wool Week patrons 2024, the Doull Family, have created the Islesburgh Tourie. Named after the family farm the design features an elegant Ram’s Heid. Daughter Anne’s design is a nod to the family’s work in helping to preserve and champion the highest quality Shetland wool.
For Shetland Wool Week 2024, we have once again collaborated with local photographer Jenny Anderson in curating four colourways inspired by her Scottish landscape images.
