We interview Elizabeth Johnston, Shetland's expert spinner, lace knitter and weaver. In the interview you will see Elizabeth spin and it will take your breath away. Elizabeth also talks about Shetland lace knitting and weaving with the warp weighted loom, which is an ancient loom dating back to the stone age. Donna Smith shows you her new yarn Langsoond which comes from her very own Shetland sheep. Donna also gives Andrew a fleece sorting lesson, which is a lot of fun. We show you around Jamieson and Smith’s store and you will hear a little bit of Oliver Henry’s fleece sorting demonstration. There is a short tutorial from Andrea on inserting your armhole steeks and more talk about our #fruitysteekedkal which has just started.
