Let's Knit the Birsie Beanny (Shetland Wool Week 2026 Hat)

Join us to knit The Birsie Beanie—this year’s official Shetland Wool Week hat—using the legendary Jamieson & Smith 2-ply jumper weight yarn. In this cozy class, you’ll learn traditional Fair Isle techniques, tidy color changes, and how to work with authentic Shetland wool for a warm, durable, and beautifully textured beanie.
We’ll cover stranded knitting, gauge tips, and finishing touches to make it uniquely yours. Whether you're new to colorwork or a seasoned pro, this is the perfect way to celebrate island heritage and knit something truly special. Let’s make warmth, one tiny strand at a time.
For advanced beginner/intermediate knitters that are comfortable working with small yarn and needles - or willing to try! $75.00 for 2 day class. Registration and more information in the ticket section.
