Time with The Shetland Guild

At a community meeting house, we met and chatted with lovely ladies from the area who do more fiber activities in a day than any teenager texts in a week.  Get the gist of how their world is centered on sheep by-products?  These ladies not only were knowledgeable and sharing, but also were gracious hosts.  They provided us with an excellent tea.




Alan Raistrick has been studying spinning wheels for years. Not only is it his particular hobby, but he also has contributed articles to The Spinning Wheel Sleuth (their website is www.spwhsl.com).  He attended the guild meeting where some spinning was going on.

The spinners and knitters were likely giving him literary forage for his next article in The Spinning Wheel Sleuth.  He has quite a series of his articles in their index going back to 1993. Thanks for talking with us, Alan!
