Beautifully illustrated authoritative work on Shetland's taatit rugs. They are part of a Nordic tradition of pile bed covers which extended from Finland to Ireland. It explains the natural dyes used to create bold, colourful designs and the production history. Some incorporate Nordic or Shetland folklore symbols. Over 80 examples are illustrated, with design analysis and their individual family history of up to 250 years as practical bedlinen and/or family heirlooms.
