Shetland Show

If you’re keen to visit the beautiful Shetland islands (definitely on our wishlist), why not tie it in with the Shetland Wool Week from 22–30 September 2018? Join this celebration of Britain’s most northerly native sheep, the Shetland textile industry and rural farming communities, with exhibitions, classes and events covering weaving, spinning, dyeing, Fair Isle and lace knitting and more. Some of our favourites include a tour around Bressay island with local crofter Chris Dyer, workshops on using natural dyes and indigo dye, spinning fleece, and felting a puffin! Plus you can sample local food, listen to traditional Shetland music and join a local dance! www.shetlandwoolweek.com
