Artisan tradition is still strong in Hailuoto. The famous traditional local pullovers have been keeping fishermen warm and protected them from the raw sea air since 19th century. The traditional local pullover is knitted of lambswool in one piece with decorative basket-weave pattern in the front.
The same decorative knit is used also for smaller pieces of clothing, for instance, for woolly socks and fingerless gloves. Artisan shops sell a diversity of handicrafts, traditionally prepared for generations.
