I will tell you all about my Shetland Wool Week in the next episode of the podcast, but here are some of my images to hold you over until then. You can also listen to short Shetland Wool Week podcasts which I recorded each day of the event on the Shetland Wool Week blog!
p.s if you are casting on for the #BreedSwatchalong today…huzzah!! Don’t forget about the chat thread and read these posts if you need some info on the -along!
