Celebrate one of the fiber world’s most beloved traditions with the Birsie Beanny, the official 2026 Shetland Wool Week hat designed by this year’s patron, Helen Robertson. This slouchy Fair Isle hat brings together heritage motifs, storytelling, and modern colorwork, drawing inspiration from Shetland’s rich knitting history and Helen’s own creative journey.
Knit in Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift, this kit features the exclusive Sea Anemone colorway, inspired by the vibrant tones of marine life surrounding the Shetland Isles. The design incorporates traditional Shetland elements, from lace-inspired motifs to textural details like optional tassels, creating a piece that feels both deeply rooted and joyfully expressive. Whether you're knitting along with the global community or adding a meaningful project to your queue, Birsie Beanny is a timeless keepsake of craft and connection.
Perfect for intermediate knitters looking to explore Shetland-style colorwork, this hat is ideal as a seasonal accessory, a collectible Wool Week project, or a meaningful gift for fiber lovers!
A special Shetland Wool Week Knit Along group has been launched for the Birsie Beanny Hat. Join makers from all over as they share their hat works in progress, questions, and photos.
