The Doull Family are the Shetland Wool Week patrons for 2024! The Islesburgh Toorie is named after the Doull Family's farm. This gorgeous design features a distinctive Shetland Ram motif and a wave lace motif, both of which are lovely representations of the Doull Family. From Islesburgh, Northmavine, the Doull family are farmers deeply rooted in the Shetland Flock Book Society. They are dedicated to preserving and championing the highest-quality Shetland wool.
