Unst Lace Shawls

Where is Unst, you ask? I wasn't too sure myself until I did some research.  Unst is one of the Shetland isles located north of Scotland--

Here is a lace knitting pattern you can buy from Sharon Taylor--such a lovely

Enjoy the magic of creativity!

 

BBC Archive has a video from 1960's with more information--fascinating to watch!
