As I get older I have started to appreciate hand made things so much..respect
That sheep looks happy
Happy sheep: yay! 😊
Fitrian Hidayat@ if she held my head near her crotch like that, I’d be very happy too. Baaaaaaa !
I love how this woman is kind to her sheeps, and very gentle with them. 💖💖 Many Americans and Filipino Knitters are falling in love with fair isle knitting. I love the music of Scotland.
Im sure she lives a happy and fulfilling life with a lot less stress than the rest of us. This is life like nature intended.
lifes better if you have money
Nature intended us to die at 30 what the fuck are you on about
Sure sure sure
@@AwesomeAsh99 woah really
Nature didn't intend anything. It's a concept, not an intelligent being.
Scottish and French hybrid accent - interesting.
Thank you for this--I thought I was going crazy.
Wonderful accent!
Okay !!!!!!! I was wondering why she sounded so un-highlandish
This just made me so happy , she handle the sheep with love ❤️
The sweaters are gorgeous and worth every penney!!!
Chloe Bell Mmm Penne pasta. I'm getting hungry 😩
Loved the way she cut the fleece off the sheep, adorable ❤️
Wool seems softer when the source is remote 😂
Awesome. I love the way the sheep are sheared.
If I lived in a country where it requires a wool jumper. I will definitely buy one from this lady. The amount of work and hours spent from the sheep to the final products deserved a respects.
Great video! I loved it all-scenery, music, sheep, wool, knitting, yarn.... All of this filmed with great understanding. Thank you!
See the animals are not suffering this is how all sheep wool must be made
This is what life is all about. We just need to live with the earth. What a remarkable woman! A breath of fresh air. Would that we all lived with the earth. Praise God and bless you from on high!
Training Grounds thank you for such lovely comment. Fair Isle has given a new purpose to my life...
Take it down a notch, mate.
I loved watching this! I love that she is so talented and preserving a culture.
I love your picture. So natural!
Those magic words: "It's full of satisfaction." Can't think of any better words to describe a working life.
That's an expensive sweater, but looking at the process, if I had the money I'd gladly pay for it
Very neat to see the process done. I want to make a fair isle by hand some day :)
Oh I love how u shear them by hand. Yes the sheep look so much happier then if u for them .
My friend and her mother both knit Fair Isle style sweaters but not to sell. it is quite a process when hand-knitting.
How inspiring!!! you are an amazing artist. Your sheep just looks so contented. Love your work.
Priceless sweater.
I don't know which is more beautiful, Scotland or the sweaters, but for 160 Euros, I know which one I'm going to have.
soo beautiful so pristine thankyou for showing us these lovely islands and skills you have
Thank you for your craftmanships
So much beauty and simplicity keeping up tradition
Can you imagine what that sweater would cost of they didn’t use that knitting machine? ...Which, by the way, those things are a stroke of engineering genius IMHO. I saw a similar device elsewhere on youtube, but for knitting hats or socks.
I love her gentle voice
thats very much intresting and very passionate and fells like more close to earth
Beautiful work. Such a fantastic location and workshop. Although, I don't believe that it is the world's softest wool.
Great history and traditions of production certainly bring great results and achievements !
Handmade and high quality products made of wool !
It's impossible not to buy !
Thank You dear Bloomberg for Your very interesting and helpful shot film !
I appreciate it !

Your information is very awesome thank you for taking the time to pass on tradition.
what a nice story and beautiful products
This is amazing.
This is so beautiful! Everything I mean.
Hi from Karachay, Caucasus!) very inspiring, keep it up!
I find a lot in common between our native culture and Scottish culture.
You right!!! And I can't wait to get in this business
I am quite new to knitting and would love a machine, would you mind sharing which machine you are using in the film please?
This is like high quality one of a kind. Best garment u can wear
I love the place more than wool.
Beautiful
Wonderful video. Thank you for making it.
Wow the accent almost half Icelandic/Scottish which makes sense
472017807 Hi! I live in Orkney and we are closely knitted to Shetland. Both places share a similar accent called orcadian. We also have our own language which sounds like heavy Gaelic that’s been thrown through Texas haha
472017807 she’s French
So much work for 120 euro?
160€
This is couture quality.
So her life is:
1. Grazing
2. Sheering
3. Knitting
4. Selling
5. Doing in all in an isolated place
Saying I’m ‘jealous’ would be an extreme understatement.
Amazing
yo tell me that sheeps arent the cutest thing ever
Amazing.
Shetland..i loved that serial..
I love every bit of this video
This woman has figured out life. More fulfilling than a corporate career!
Well done!
i love your work
Awesome
Love the video
The views are amazing
I love your work from northern Algeria,me too I product my yarn by myself, washing the wool by my hand ,traditional, I fabric ,and knitting whithe my hand.
She's very talented, I plan to move to the Shetlands in some years.
What a dream job
I guess my grandma was very cool. She knitted a lot of dresses and sweaters by hand, with quite complex patterns on them. She taught me too, as a child, but I can’t do patterns and stuff...
Wow ! It's incredible. :)
I just can say You are wonderful
Great video
wow! Nice video
Not a bad price for all the work and material that goes into it.
amazing！！！
I like the sheeps.
Very interesting. Very informative. Q: From the time your shear the animal until the time you finally have a completely finished garment that is finally put up on a drying 'rack' then, ultimately sold -- how long is the whole process? Are we talking about a month or more; or slightly less?
i will pay upto 350 euro fore that natural hand made dress
Cool !
💕💕💫🙌🏾 she is a boss!!! 🌺
Wow worth the price I think.
I would like a hat!
Mmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woolly sweaters!!!!!! Not for deserts and the tropics.
Okay... now I understand the pricing. Wow!
Wow really fair price
so its actually "one of the softest" not THE softest.
Merino is softer than Shetland but that also makes it far weaker because it is the thinness of the fiber that makes it so soft. It has to be mixed with another wool so it does not break. This happens with many other super soft wools too like cashmere (goat) and angora (rabbit). Shetland is probably the softest you could get that holds its own and doesn't need to be mixed.
@@aphyngodiva2551 merino does no have to to be mixed with anything. i have spun yarn from pure merino wool and knitted lots of 100% merino sweaters. the main reason why merino wool gets blended with other fibers is usually as a cost-cutting measure, or if it is intended to be used in socks.
Don’t forget the Vicuña and Tengri Khangai fibres.
I found shetland wool is more itchy than merino or cashmere.
@@victornewman508 are you allergic?
Wow ❤
I have seen people using these knitting machines here in Manipur, India . it's really interesting to see the art. it's like a typewriter . I heard that it is a Japanese product.
great
Please let me know do you export your goods as well or they are just for domestic sale and Special Orders ?
Thanks
A dream to work in this field for a living. Hello! From Seattle. Another knitted of the world.
The machine is more interesting than hand knitting
Ah man a haircut again? That is beautiful..thank u for ur kindness and understanding ...my grandmother was from Edinburgh and we plan on traveling to see there home and buy me a sweater...my wife is Irish so I promised her an Irish sweater... lol I would live to purchase a sweater from u...I love a turtle neck style.
Does anyone know what machine she was using for the knitting?
Is it possible to buy skeins or balls of Shetland wool yarn and ship to Canada?
Hi which program is she using for testing the jacquard?
Happy sheep make the softest wool
those look like happy sheep
SO PLEASE HOW MAY I PURCHASE ONE OF THESE DIVINE SWEATERS FROM HER????😍😍😍
I assumed that traditional sweaters would be hand not machine knit so i was surprised nit to see that in this video.
Stop hating on the knitting machine or go knit one of these and try not to get carpel tunnel
Yeah alot of effort goes into these things. Thd next time my grandma gives me an ugly sweater for Christmas, maybe I'll decline it more politely
Wow lots of work. No wonder is so expensive.
she's not actually knitting, the machine is. although i do like the idea of being able to program the machine with the punch sheet. doing this by hand is more authentic but quite time consuming.
Can you please write to me, where can I buy a machine like that?
Merino wool entered the chat
She preserved the old heritage
I'm more interested the island view and the sheep 🐑
❤️
