Real Shetland Yarns

Real Shetland Yarns is a delightful collection of woolly tales and memories from the people of Shetland about their own connections with wool, sheep and textiles in general. The stories were submitted as part of a competition to celebrate Wool Week 2011 and resulted in a fascinating insight into the social history of how wool has permeated family life through generations.

There are tales of favourite jumpers, fondly remembered times with grandparents and memories of extraordinary sheep. Dip in to the near or distant past with this wonderful collection of stories.
