Handmade Knitted Puffin Magnet – Day Care Crafts Shetland

This adorable knitted puffin magnet is handmade by Day Care Crafts at Edward Thomason & Taing Support Services Day Care in Shetland. Crafted from wood and finished with a cosy knitted wool body, it captures the charm of Shetland’s iconic puffin in a wonderfully creative way.

The puffin’s bright, painted beak and expressive eyes contrast beautifully with the black-and-white Fair Isle–inspired knit, giving it a lovely mix of colour, texture, and Shetland character. A small magnet on the back makes it perfect for displaying on a fridge, memo board, or any magnetic surface.

Each puffin is unique, with its own little personality thanks to the handmade knitted body and painted details. These make delightful small gifts, souvenirs, and festive stocking fillers — while supporting meaningful community craft work in Shetland.
