Hand Knitted Eriskay Jersey Toories (Hats)
 
Each of these toories is hand-knitted on Eriskay by one of our skilled Jersey knitters. No two are the same – sizes, colours, and patterns vary, making each piece unique.
 
The Eriskay Jersey is world-famous for its intricate stitch work and connection to the island’s fishing heritage. Traditionally knitted by the women of Eriskay for their menfolk at sea, each family had its own distinctive patterns, passed down through the generations. Today, these designs continue to inspire the knitwear made by islanders.
 
Every hat comes with a card featuring information about the Eriskay Jersey, so you can learn more about this remarkable tradition.
