Fleece Rugs, Sheep, Heritage, and the Shetland Islands with Helen Hart

#026.  -- In this episode I chat with Helen about some of the traditional crafts she's involved with, how she became involved in them, and what draws her to them. We talk about keeping sheep, natural dyes, fair isle knitting, burning peat, the fleece rugs she makes, and so much more! Like many of us she is a dabbler in many traditional crafts, with a passion for learning about heritage crafts-- in particular those from the Viking era.Oh yes, and I also spend way too much time asking about the Shetland Islands. . . =) I didn't know much about them and Helen was gracious enough to indulge my curiosity!Notes from this episode can be found over at:folkcraftrevival.com/26
