Hello from Rachel on Fair Isle

My friend Rachel lives on Fair Isle and I'm thrilled to welcome her here to The Woolly Thistle blog showing us a bit of her life and work. I hope you enjoy her video as much as I do. I especially love seeing her sheep and hearing their adorable names and seeing their eager faces.  Rachel will be a regular contributor to our blog so be sure to leave her a comment letting her know you enjoyed her video!

    Lovely intro to Fair Isle and Rachael. The wish to visit struck big time! Spinning and hand knitting are my hobbies. I look forward to trying to spin some Shetland

    Hi Rachel, I’m so impressed that you know all the names of your sheep. It looks like they all have unique personalities. I enjoy seeing the beautiful landscape of your island and your farm. Good luck with your business ventures. Looking forward to your next blog and video.
