Mirky Nichts Bairn’s Bunnet is crafted in the deep, natural black of true Shetland wool—a hue as soft and shadowed as the “mirky nichts” themselves, when autumn’s last glow fades and winter draws its first long breath.

Designed for the quiet turn of the seasons, this simple beanie holds the warmth of honest wool and the understated charm of the northern isles.  As the days grow shorter and nights stretched ever longer, the bunnet rests easily atop the head, offering a gentle, steady heat against the creeping chill.

There’s a humble beauty in its simplicity:  no fuss, no flourish, just the raw character of Shetland fibre, spun to keep you cosy through winds that whisper of winter.  Whether worn on a brisk gloamin’ walk or pulled close on a frost-tipped dawn, Mirky Nichts Bairn’s Bunnet is a soft, steadfast companion for the dimming days and lengthening nights ahead.
