There truly is nothing like Shetland wool! And no place more beautiful than Shetland!
❤ these updates! Thank you!
Superb coverage, much appreciated.❤
thanks for the update!!!!
What a cosy visual feast! A lovely end to my working week catching up with them all today
Thank you for the daily updates from Shetland Wool Week for those of us "across the pond" that are unable to attend in person.
Love these updates!
Thank you so much for this joyful video. So great to be part of wool week.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved being right in the room at Jamieson's today, thank you! So many interesting interviews! Wow!
Greetings from Sydney NSW Australia. Wish I was there. Love knitting with Shetland wool 🧶🧶
It is nice to see Shetland Wool Week virtual. Someday I will get there!
I really enjoyed this! Wish I was there.
Thank you for another great catch up. I enjoyed seeing the products for sale during SWW, and the shop full of beautiful yarns. Wishing you a lovely evening!
Thank you so much!
Really makes me feel closer to the event and the people there, as others have said - thanks so much, interesting and lovely to see a bit of the islands.
Thanks for the videos, they are giving a wonderful start to my day.
Thanks for the daily updates for Shetland Wool Week. This is a great way for those of us too far away to attend to at least listen to and watch participants. The interviews certainly add to the excitement!
Great videos, thank you. Takes me back to my visit in 2018. My husband came with me and while I was at classes he chatted with locals and also attended some of the events with me. Everyone was so very friendly! We came home with so many stories, the party after the Flock book show was great fun. I’d love to do it again one year.
I'm absolutely loving the daily updates on here - but it's making me miss it even more! I'll be back next year though - thanks for making these very informative and uplifting videos, I look forward to watching again tomorrow :-)
Thank you loved it.
Thanks a lot for a great video 🤗
What a brilliant idea to let those of us not able to be there, to feel as if we were! So fun to listen to the interviews with everyone, and catch glimpses of the island; city and countryside. A spectacular place! Thank you!
Thank you for this update. I look forward to it each day during Woolweek. Can't get to Shetland (yet) and this makes me so happy to share a little of it with you. Thank you for Oliver Henry and Ella Gordon for their parts in todays video.
Thank you for these lovely videos, something to look forward to at the end of each day! Also enjoying Claire's knitwear collection.
Thank you - and yes Claire's collection of knitwear is wonderful!
I’m just so thankful for these informative films. On my bucket list to be there live some day.
Thank you for this update! I am going to cast on my Bonnie Isle Hat in the 32C heat of Texas - hoping for cooler days! I look forward to next week. Congrats on the expansion of J & S's shop.
I have not had the opportunity to attend Wool Week, but the daily videos are a wonderful way to participate in my own way. Hopefully, I will make it next year! Thank you for these daily catch-up videos!
Love the daily updates for those of us who cannot cross the Pond to come to the festival. Keep these great videos coming!
Now that I know you are bringing us a daily snippet, I am looking forward to it. Done preparing for school tomorrow, I put my feet up ,grab my knitting and listen adoringly to your lovely accents describing all the wonderful things happening. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks so much for doing this! Wish I could be there! Hopefully next year.
A lovely surprise came to my email inbox yesterday. A daily video tour of Shetland Wool Week. I cannot tell you what a thrill it has been to watch these daily videos. It's almost like being there. Almost. lol. We are here in Canada and saw our friends appear on the 1st day of video. 1 is from Orangeville, Ontario and the other from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. So exciting for us. You are just doing such an awesome job promoting Shetland Wool Week. I hope it is a very successful time for everyone.
Thank you!
So interesting, I'm loving the daily updates and wishing I could attend. I think I might just order the yarn I need to finally knit up the 'Next Year in Lerwick Sweater' and how maybe next year I'll be there 🙂
Such a lovely video! Thank you so much for sharing this joyful & one of a kind event with us, unable to goin person quite yet. 😊One of my favorite weeks all year!
Our pleasure!
I so look for your updates thank you!! The music is so soothing , and meeting the makers just love it all ❤
Glad you like them!
I am really enjoying the daily updates and all the on line content you are providing for those of us who are at home. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Another wonderful video, thank you!! One day I hope to get there in person. I purchased the digital version of the Annual and printed out Da Palm Beach Mitts, Nesbyen Socks and oh…the most beautiful Merran’s Cardigan. I had most of the colors that I needed for the socks, and ordered the purple and one of the green’s from an online US seller, to complete what I needed. I pulled two Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift from my stash in the color Nighthawk for the Mitts and I ordered 9 skeins (I want to add length to the sweater) of pale peach Shetland Ultra Laceweight from a UK seller because I couldn’t find enough of a color I liked in the US. Actually, with the exchange rate now it was actually less expensive to buy from the UK than to buy the skeins in the US, even after paying for tracked shipping. So now I have three lovely Wool Week projects that will get me into mid winter with my evening knitting. Next best thing to being there and these videos almost make me feel that I AM there.
How wonderful, enjoy!
I do wish the days were numbered. I would have liked to watch in order.
I love these daily updates from SWW. Since I can't be there in person this is the next best thing. I do hope to make it one of these years, hopefully before Oliver Henry retires since I would love to attend one of his sorting presentations.
No one seems to have commented here, but I found the sound wasn't good for today's video, not sure if anyone else noticed it. Couldn't hear anything Claire said at the J & S Wool Store. But I have to recommend the wool wash you mentioned. I have a little sample bottle thanks to Rachel from Barkland Croft, and I love it!
Thank you so much for your daily updates! I love having even 10 minutes there! I absolutely love your green cardigan today with the trees, is there an online pattern available for it? Again, thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful Wool Week with us!!
Unfortunately no pattern - it's Claire's mother in law's work!
@@ShetlandAmenityTrust it’s gorgeous!!
Another great episode!! Again thank you so much for these updates for those of us unable to attend in person!!
BTW can Ella Gordon’s tee shirt be purchased?
Thanks for the feedback. The t-shirt is one we did several years ago as SWW merchandise. Maybe we'll do something similar next year!
Will there be closed captioning at some point for those of us without a good ear for accents?
Yes we'll be getting to that as soon as we can!
