Jeannie and Nan


Jeannie Shewan and Nan Anderson, at Easthouse, Tangwick. c.1930s.

Now get those photos/memories in so that the museum has more records like these, and you might win the best bed in the world! Only 9 days left to find a photo that relates to Shetland's wool, textiles and/or sheep and tell us a little about it - a knitting pattern, a garment, a person, a place, a journey. 

Remember that your photo can be from the photo library, just like Jeannie and Nan.

Oldie


We've been neglecting our little halo for a couple of weeks... but we're back! First of all, some old ganzie inspiration, retrieved from the darkest depths in need of some good old tlc.

PS. This reminds me, we'll shortly be outing a project we've been keeping quiet for a little while... Another lovely piece of wool history with the Shetland Museum and Archives. Yay oh yay oh yay, can't wait!
