Our Supporters

SOK: Shetland’s Organisation for Knitters exists because many people believe that Shetland’s living knitting heritage deserves respect and a future.

We are grateful to the funders, businesses, community partners and individuals who support our work. Their generosity helps us to preserve knowledge, create paid opportunities for local knitters, record skills that are at risk of being lost, and share Shetland’s knitting heritage with accuracy and care. 

The names below are listed with permission. We are equally grateful to those who choose to support SOK privately.

Friend of the Makkers

We are currently reaching out to Shetland-based businesses who believe in SOK’s mission. If you would like to see our sponsorship package, please contact us.

We are equally grateful to the 1071 donors who supported the initial crowdfunder that allowed SOK to launch. Each gift helped make SOK’s early work possible. Some supporters gave at a level that included public recognition as part of their reward. We are grateful to list those names here with permission.
