Helen chose to celebrate this collaboration by working the festival name into the text brim of the hat. The lettering creates a wearable souvenir and a conversation starter, carrying the name of Shetland Wool Week out into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe patterns in the hat reflect different strands of Helen’s work and inspirations. The lower motif draws from her distinctive silver knitted tiaras, above it, a pattern references one of her favourite Shetland lace traditions, Liss Hols (Lace Holes) - a motif Helen’s Unst granny knitted around the six holed lace edge of her christening shawl - and one that Helen often uses in her silver wire bracelets. A heart motif, adapted from her Mariner’s Compass Hat, sits above, and the crown pattern takes inspiration from the lace Tree of Life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAdding a playful touch are the optional toosks, inspired by the tassels on the Gunnister Man’s purse- an important historic Shetland find - and the technique of our heritage tattit rugs. The toosks give the hat texture and personality; they are also what inspired its name, as birsie means ‘hairy’ in Shetland dialect.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eBirsie Beanny Kit - Official 2026 Shetland Wool Week Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur kits feature Jamieson \u0026amp; Smith 2-ply Jumper Weight, that much-loved Shetland yarn that knits like a dream and creates the most beautiful, even tension for stranded colorwork.
