Shetland Textile Museum

Shetland Textile Museum fills a restored fishing bod with lace knitting, Fair Isle work, tools, and stories from the islands' textile trade. It is a small museum, but the subject is central to Shetland's identity.

Go after the main museum if you want a more focused look at craft. The best pieces make clear how much skill sits behind the soft-looking jumpers in Lerwick shop windows.
