Full description
Scots Bonnet, Hand Knitted and Felted.
Worked in pure Shetland Wool in the colour of The Dunbonnet - hand knitted by me for Sam Heughans Character Jamie Fraser in Outlander!
The bonnet is in a shade of brown (dun coloured) with specs of other natural colours tunning through the length of the yarn giving it a 18th century homespun look.
It was a colour of camoflage to hide the Highlander from the prey he was hunting - or to hide the Highlander from the Redcoats who were hunting him!
In the 16th, 17th and 18th century, this colour is thought to have been obtained by experimenting with various plant leaves until the colour was achieved. The wool was left to dry then knitted and felted using the traditional methods of the time.
The Scots Bonnet seen in the Highlands in the 16th Century and endured through to 18th century until the battle of Culloden in April 1746 which effectively ended the Clan system
The bonnets were taken to America by those who emigrated after Culloden and is still popular at Scottish Events there
