The Herring Girls Collection is helping preserve knitting traditions and the work of the young women who propped up the fishing industry IT takes its name from the band of formidable young women from the Outer Hebrides who followed the shoals of herring around the British coast undertaking gruelling work to gut, cure and pack the fish for local merchants. While away from their families, the “Herring Girls” would pass the time knitting using patterns incorporating anchors, ship’s wheels, hearts, or marriage lines that were handed down through the years. Generations later, the 19th-century tradition is being kept alive by a small Barra-based knitting business that has flourished in the still of lockdown.
