Hello from Rachel on Fair Isle

By Maggie Nichols

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!

  • Rachel, I loved your intro video. It makes me want to visit you! I’m from Charleston, SC where spring comes very early and I can’t wear my hand knits most of the year because of the beastly heat. I absolutely adore your rainbow lambs sweater!! Please let us know how to purchase it. Good luck with lambing. Bonnie
