The Shetland Wool Festival 2024 Hat.
The hat, which is named after the family farm, has been designed by Anne, and features a distinctive Shetland Ram motif, a tribute to the family involvement with the Shetland Flock Book. The inclusion of the print of the wave lace pattern celebrates Margaret's skilful knitted lace.
The colourways are inspired by the many natural shades of their Shetland flock and the heather filled hills and sunset views from the farm.
