Full shownotes are at www.woolwork.net/ep127   Welcome to episode— what is it now?  I think it’s episode one hundred and twenty-burble-burble-burble (checked later – its 127!) I knew when I sat down that this would be a long one!

I’m discussing all...

Shownotes: https://bit.ly/2Tq0oJS WoolWork Rewind: Episode 30 Jamiesons and Smith   This episode of the podcast was first released in May 2015, when the podcast was still known as KnitBritish. At the time of recording, all information was correct. Please understand that some of this information may have changed now. Very sadly, in 2018 Lizzie Simmons died. I will always remember her with a massive smile on her face and ready to share a laugh. She was incredibly passionate about Shetland...
