I have no idea what this is, exactly.
It seems to be a small square pillow with a hanging hook. It might actually be a pin cushion.
The tag, which I have never bothered to remove, says:
Hand made from recycled knitwear
By Robyn Robertson,
Eshaness, ShetlandFelt: 100% Pure Shetland Wool
Wash on wool cycle / hand wash,
Re-shape whilst damp and dry flat
On top of the tag is a hand written price tag: £4.50
Thus, I can tell you that I paid £4.50 for it while visiting the Shetland Islands in 2013.
Not sure why I bought it – other than the fact that it has nice patterns in the fabric, is made of wool, and did not actually cost all that much.
It hangs on a door handle in my apartment – it doesn’t actually cushion the door or prevent it from banging into the wall – but it’s a subtle reminder of the Shetland Islands and my fantastic vacation there.
During the Covid-19 crisis, I am going to try and make a point of writing a blog post about an object in my home.
We’ll see how long this lasts.
