As I get older I have started to appreciate hand made things so much..respect
That sheep looks happy
Happy sheep: yay! 😊
Fitrian Hidayat@ if she held my head near her crotch like that, I’d be very happy too. Baaaaaaa !
I love how this woman is kind to her sheeps, and very gentle with them. 💖💖 Many Americans and Filipino Knitters are falling in love with fair isle knitting. I love the music of Scotland.
Wool seems softer when the source is remote 😂
Im sure she lives a happy and fulfilling life with a lot less stress than the rest of us. This is life like nature intended.
lifes better if you have money
Nature intended us to die at 30 what the fuck are you on about
Sure sure sure
@@AwesomeAsh99 woah really
Nature didn't intend anything. It's a concept, not an intelligent being.
The sweaters are gorgeous and worth every penney!!!
Chloe Bell Mmm Penne pasta. I'm getting hungry 😩
Scottish and French hybrid accent - interesting.
Thank you for this--I thought I was going crazy.
Wonderful accent!
Okay !!!!!!! I was wondering why she sounded so un-highlandish
This just made me so happy , she handle the sheep with love ❤️
Loved the way she cut the fleece off the sheep, adorable ❤️
Great video! I loved it all-scenery, music, sheep, wool, knitting, yarn.... All of this filmed with great understanding. Thank you!
Awesome. I love the way the sheep are sheared.
If I lived in a country where it requires a wool jumper. I will definitely buy one from this lady. The amount of work and hours spent from the sheep to the final products deserved a respects.
This is what life is all about. We just need to live with the earth. What a remarkable woman! A breath of fresh air. Would that we all lived with the earth. Praise God and bless you from on high!
Training Grounds thank you for such lovely comment. Fair Isle has given a new purpose to my life...
Take it down a notch, mate.
See the animals are not suffering this is how all sheep wool must be made
I loved watching this! I love that she is so talented and preserving a culture.
I love your picture. So natural!
soo beautiful so pristine thankyou for showing us these lovely islands and skills you have
How inspiring!!! you are an amazing artist. Your sheep just looks so contented. Love your work.
Those magic words: "It's full of satisfaction." Can't think of any better words to describe a working life.
thats very much intresting and very passionate and fells like more close to earth
Great history and traditions of production certainly bring great results and achievements !
Handmade and high quality products made of wool !
It's impossible not to buy !

Thank you for your craftmanships
Priceless sweater.
That's an expensive sweater, but looking at the process, if I had the money I'd gladly pay for it
Very neat to see the process done. I want to make a fair isle by hand some day :)
My friend and her mother both knit Fair Isle style sweaters but not to sell. it is quite a process when hand-knitting.
So much beauty and simplicity keeping up tradition
You right!!! And I can't wait to get in this business
Oh I love how u shear them by hand. Yes the sheep look so much happier then if u for them .
what a nice story and beautiful products
Beautiful work. Such a fantastic location and workshop. Although, I don't believe that it is the world's softest wool.
Wonderful video. Thank you for making it.
This is so beautiful! Everything I mean.
I love her gentle voice
Your information is very awesome thank you for taking the time to pass on tradition.
Hi from Karachay, Caucasus!) very inspiring, keep it up!
I find a lot in common between our native culture and Scottish culture.
So much work for 120 euro?
160€
This is amazing.
I love every bit of this video
Can you imagine what that sweater would cost of they didn’t use that knitting machine? ...Which, by the way, those things are a stroke of engineering genius IMHO. I saw a similar device elsewhere on youtube, but for knitting hats or socks.
This is like high quality one of a kind. Best garment u can wear
Amazing.
Beautiful
I am quite new to knitting and would love a machine, would you mind sharing which machine you are using in the film please?
Love the video
Well done!
i love your work
Amazing
I love your work from northern Algeria,me too I product my yarn by myself, washing the wool by my hand ,traditional, I fabric ,and knitting whithe my hand.
Wow ! It's incredible. :)
I don't know which is more beautiful, Scotland or the sweaters, but for 160 Euros, I know which one I'm going to have.
Awesome
wow! Nice video
Great video
I love the place more than wool.
The views are amazing
Shetland..i loved that serial..
yo tell me that sheeps arent the cutest thing ever
This is couture quality.
amazing！！！
Very interesting. Very informative. Q: From the time your shear the animal until the time you finally have a completely finished garment that is finally put up on a drying 'rack' then, ultimately sold -- how long is the whole process? Are we talking about a month or more; or slightly less?
I just can say You are wonderful
She's very talented, I plan to move to the Shetlands in some years.
Cool !
What a dream job
Wow ❤
Does anyone know what machine she was using for the knitting?
💕💕💫🙌🏾 she is a boss!!! 🌺
This woman has figured out life. More fulfilling than a corporate career!
Mmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woolly sweaters!!!!!! Not for deserts and the tropics.
Ah man a haircut again? That is beautiful..thank u for ur kindness and understanding ...my grandmother was from Edinburgh and we plan on traveling to see there home and buy me a sweater...my wife is Irish so I promised her an Irish sweater... lol I would live to purchase a sweater from u...I love a turtle neck style.
I like the sheeps.
Please let me know do you export your goods as well or they are just for domestic sale and Special Orders ?
Thanks
Wow worth the price I think.
i will pay upto 350 euro fore that natural hand made dress
Not a bad price for all the work and material that goes into it.
That is a lot of hand work in what is ostensibly a "machine" knitted jumper.
I hope the people who end up wearing them appreciate them.
Also, interesting little FYI: although a lot of Fair Isle work is done with what is called "fingering" weight yarn (we'd say 3 - 4 ply in Australia), the finished product is more like a double knit because of the floats at the back. (I do a little Fair Isle knitting by hand.)
So her life is:
1. Grazing
2. Sheering
3. Knitting
4. Selling
5. Doing in all in an isolated place
Saying I’m ‘jealous’ would be an extreme understatement.
I guess my grandma was very cool. She knitted a lot of dresses and sweaters by hand, with quite complex patterns on them. She taught me too, as a child, but I can’t do patterns and stuff...
Hi which program is she using for testing the jacquard?
I would like a hat!
I have seen people using these knitting machines here in Manipur, India . it's really interesting to see the art. it's like a typewriter . I heard that it is a Japanese product.
A dream to work in this field for a living. Hello! From Seattle. Another knitted of the world.
Wow really fair price
Is it possible to buy skeins or balls of Shetland wool yarn and ship to Canada?
great
Wow the accent almost half Icelandic/Scottish which makes sense
472017807 Hi! I live in Orkney and we are closely knitted to Shetland. Both places share a similar accent called orcadian. We also have our own language which sounds like heavy Gaelic that’s been thrown through Texas haha
472017807 she’s French
Okay... now I understand the pricing. Wow!
so its actually "one of the softest" not THE softest.
Merino is softer than Shetland but that also makes it far weaker because it is the thinness of the fiber that makes it so soft. It has to be mixed with another wool so it does not break. This happens with many other super soft wools too like cashmere (goat) and angora (rabbit). Shetland is probably the softest you could get that holds its own and doesn't need to be mixed.
@@aphyngodiva2551 merino does no have to to be mixed with anything. i have spun yarn from pure merino wool and knitted lots of 100% merino sweaters. the main reason why merino wool gets blended with other fibers is usually as a cost-cutting measure, or if it is intended to be used in socks.
Don’t forget the Vicuña and Tengri Khangai fibres.
I found shetland wool is more itchy than merino or cashmere.
@@victornewman508 are you allergic?
SO PLEASE HOW MAY I PURCHASE ONE OF THESE DIVINE SWEATERS FROM HER????😍😍😍
Can you please write to me, where can I buy a machine like that?
those look like happy sheep
Prizes ?
Stop hating on the knitting machine or go knit one of these and try not to get carpel tunnel
Yeah alot of effort goes into these things. Thd next time my grandma gives me an ugly sweater for Christmas, maybe I'll decline it more politely
Happy sheep make the softest wool
Is it always hand made or that's just 4 camera
❤️
Such cute accent. Where it from?
I'm more interested the island view and the sheep 🐑
Wow lots of work. No wonder is so expensive.
Polychromos ♡
