The designs here are rich in texture, color, and shape, but it's the philosophy behind the knitwear—Niela Nell Kalra makes it for the day you feel your worst—that makes it so desirable. Most of the pieces are made to be worn in multiple ways, meaning you get three pieces for the price of one.
The publisher of the local newspaper, The Orcadian, also manages this store, a good place to find books about the history of Orkney, its wildlife, and folklore. Look out for the occasional book reading and cultural event held here.
The Peerie (Shetland for "small") Shop sells a colorful mix of knitwear, cards, ceramics, and interesting---and, yes, small---miscellanea.
