Shetland Wool Week 2017 - Episode 39 - Fruity Knitting Podcast

Shetland Wool Week was a wonderful experience and we have brought home lots of material for the Fruity Knitting Podcast. Hazel Tindall, native Shetlander twice recognized as the fastest knitter in the world, joins us for our first interview. Hazel tells us about her childhood, with memories of knitting to earn money for the family. Dr Carol Christiansen is curator of the textiles collection at the Shetland Museum and Archives, and takes us through a selection of museum garments in our second interview. We get a glimpse of the Opening Ceremony, with a fashion parade, Shetland poet Jacqui Clark and Shetland band Vair, a visit to Burrastow House with Gudrun Johnston and Mary Jane Mucklestone, a tour of Jamieson’s of Shetland, and lots more. Join us on our trip to Shetland Wool Week 2017.
