A brightly coloured shoal of herring created by knitters across the UK is now on display at Anstruther’s Scottish Fisheries Museum – alongside a new exhibition featuring the nationally recognised collection of beautiful and intricate fishermen’s sweaters or ‘ganseys’.

SHOAL and the Knitting the Herring exhibition is part of the Scottish Fisheries Museum’s award-winning Knitting the Herring – Scotland’s National Gansey Project.

The project celebrates the textile heritage of Scotland’s fishing communities and these tightly knitted, seamless and water-resistant sweaters, which became the distinctive workwear of fishermen between the early 19th and mid 20th century.

During lockdown in July 2020 knitters of all ages, from ‘gansey’ enthusiasts to the wider public, were invited to ‘pick up sticks’ and collaborate on the creation of a knitted SHOAL of herring.

SHOAL and Knitting the Herring run until February 27. Admission is included in museum entry.
