Shetland Wool Week Printed Pattern 2024

Islesburgh Toorie

Designed by the Doull Family for Shetland Wool Week 2024.

The Islesburgh toorie shines a spotlight on Shetland sheep and their wonderful wool, the product on which Shetland Wool Week is built.

In a break from tradition, the Doull family were selected as the Wool Week patrons for 2024. Hailing from Islesburgh, Northmavine, Margaret and Addie Doull alongside their children, are farmers deeply rooted in the Shetland Flock Book Society. Their dedication revolves around preserving and championing the highest quality Shetland Wool.

The Doulls are frequently invited to judge shows across the UK, drawing on their expertise in sheep and wool evaluation. As avid knitters, Margaret, and more recently her daughter Anne, produce exceptional garments of the highest quality, winning prizes locally and nationally.
