In the quiet village of Hamnavoe, one woman turned black fishing twine into something no one expected — a lace fence.
For three weeks, Anne Eunson sat with curtain rods as knitting frames, weaving a 23-stitch Shetland lace pattern into enough lacework to encircle her garden. What began as a simple project soon became a local wonder — delicate lace, made from rugged twine, standing strong against the coastal winds.
Neighbors stop to admire it, visitors pause to take photos, and suddenly, an ordinary fence has become a story of heritage, resilience, and imagination.
Because sometimes, beauty isn’t bought — it’s made by hand.
