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!

  • Hello Rachel out there in remote Fair Isle. It is such a welcome peek into your life there on your land with your dear flock (so nice to meet them and love their names). My mind goes traveling to Fair Isle which I would love to visit but doubt I will have that opportunity so armchair traveling and flights of imagination must suffice. I wonder what caused you to chose Fair Isle as a place to settle? You certainly have full days and nights too I am sure what with your flock, part time job and knitting/designing gig. Thank you for sharing with us. Your sweater design is absolutely gorgeous! Be well. It was interesting to hear the wind as you spoke – island ambiance.

  • Hi Rachel! I loved your video. Fair Isle looks like a beautiful place to live. Are you totally surrounded by water? Your sheep are awesome. I’m anxious to try your yarn.
