Islesburgh Toorie is the Official Knitting Pattern for the 2024 Shetland Wool Week designed by Wool Week Patron Addie and Margaret Doull from Islesburgh Farm in Northmavine along with their daughter Anne. Three different Colourways are suggested in the Downloadable Pattern that can be ordered online, each using yarn from a different Shetland Island wool producer. Colourway 1 (J-SHET-IT-3 below) uses Spindrift yarn from Jamieson's of Shetland.
Because the yarn for the other 4 colourways is unavailable or harder to source in North America, we have also produced yarn kits for these using substituted colours from the extensive Jamieson's Spindrift palette. We have tried to match the colours used in the samples with the closest Jamieson shade available in the kits below.
Note that the pattern can be customized by specifying colours from any of the 225 shades of Spindrift wool available. Just specify the 5 alternate shades you wish with each as a separate line order on our Online Order Form.
