Toig is Shaetlan for a is a tightly coiled, traditional multi-functional Shetland basket, which was originally made
of root fibres. It is an old word descended from Norn, from the Old Norse tág meaning "root fibre" and
relatives of the word can still be found in Icelandic and Faroese (tág, tægja), Nynorsk (tægje, teie). The regional
Swedish tågkorg is also a root fibre basket. The stitch pattern of the cuff of these mittens resembles the
structure of the toig. These beautiful mitts were designed by Hilly van der Sluis. They are knitted in DK and JW yarn held together, making for a wonderfully cosy winter mitten. They come in two colourways:
Sea colourway
JW: 50g Laebrakk
DK: 75g Speedwell Heath
