Shopcast #167 Hap Chat / Postcard from Fair Isle / Yoga with Kim

By Caitlin Johnson

 

On this episode, we have another visit with Rachel and her sheep of Barkland Croft on Fair Isle. She shares some updates about the farm with us, answers some of your questions, and even gives us a rare glimpse of a sunny calm day in Shetland! Kim from Turning Ground Yoga also has another lovely yoga practice for us this week. Get up and join us in tending to our knitting hands and bodies!
