Description
An in-depth conversation with SWW24 Patrons and Flock Book members Addie, Margaret and Anne Doull with fellow Shetlander Janette Budge.
Hear about life on the farm, the Flock Book organisation, how they became involved. Addie’s trips to the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh and judging at the Yorkshire show in England. Margaret tells of her judging days and how she’s been involved with shows across the decades. Plus she gives a detailed demonstration on how she knits with the Shetland knitting belt with one hand after having a stroke in 2011. We have a discussion on long needles, lace patterns and how she casts on . Anne talks about how she became involved with the sheep and the Flock Book. Hear about Anne’s homemade “lamb pram”! You also get to meet Anne’s 3 bottle fed lambs or caddy lambs as we call them. Including her special lamb “Flo”
The family are well known throughout the isles and beyond for their quality Shetland wool. Winning prizes both in Shetland and the
Scottish Mainland for their sheep and fleeces. They breed a variety of colours on their farm in the north mainland of Shetland,
including moorit, Shetland black and grey.
