Design and Name Inspiration: "The inspiration for the Aal Ower Toorie came from last autumn's popular 'Allover' exhibition by Chris Morphet at the Shetland Museum. The exhibition photographs clearly depicted the strong design and vibrant colours of vintage Fair Isle knitwear and this is what we wanted achieve in our hat. Building on the allover theme we replicated a 1930s pattern from the Guild publication, A Shetlander's Fair Isle Graph Book, as the basis for our toorie. The hat features a diamond grid allover pattern. The name Aal Ower Toorie not only highlights the design's continuous pattern but also pays tribute to our Guild members, who reside 'aal ower' Shetland." ~Elizabeth Williamson, Chair of the Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers and Dyers
