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 didn’t get to visit Fair Isle when I was in Shetland in 2018. Lovely to see your video. Your rainbow sheep sweater is fantastic. I would love that design in a scarf/cowl as well. So many possibilities, right?

    I live in Tennessee in the USA. Looking forward to seeing more of you and your croft!
