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.
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.
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
Wool seems softer when the source is remote 😂
The sweaters are gorgeous and worth every penney!!!
Chloe Bell Mmm Penne pasta. I'm getting hungry 😩
This just made me so happy , she handle the sheep with love ❤️
Loved the way she cut the fleece off the sheep, adorable ❤️
Awesome. I love the way the sheep are sheared.
See the animals are not suffering this is how all sheep wool must be made
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.
Great video! I loved it all-scenery, music, sheep, wool, knitting, yarn.... All of this filmed with great understanding. Thank you!
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.
Those magic words: "It's full of satisfaction." Can't think of any better words to describe a working life.
That's an expensive sweater, but looking at the process, if I had the money I'd gladly pay for it
I loved watching this! I love that she is so talented and preserving a culture.
I love your picture. So natural!
Priceless sweater.
How inspiring!!! you are an amazing artist. Your sheep just looks so contented. Love your work.
Very neat to see the process done. I want to make a fair isle by hand some day :)
Thank you for your craftmanships
Oh I love how u shear them by hand. Yes the sheep look so much happier then if u for them .
soo beautiful so pristine thankyou for showing us these lovely islands and skills you have
I love her gentle voice
Beautiful work. Such a fantastic location and workshop. Although, I don't believe that it is the world's softest wool.
So much beauty and simplicity keeping up tradition
My friend and her mother both knit Fair Isle style sweaters but not to sell. it is quite a process when hand-knitting.
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 dear Bloomberg for Your very interesting and helpful shot film !
I appreciate it !

what a nice story and beautiful products
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.
This is so beautiful! Everything I mean.
Wonderful video. Thank you for making it.
Hi from Karachay, Caucasus!) very inspiring, keep it up!
I find a lot in common between our native culture and Scottish culture.
This is like high quality one of a kind. Best garment u can wear
Your information is very awesome thank you for taking the time to pass on tradition.
You right!!! And I can't wait to get in this business
This is amazing.
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.
I love every bit of this video
I love the place more than wool.
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
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.
Well done!
This is couture quality.
Shetland..i loved that serial..
Beautiful
This woman has figured out life. More fulfilling than a corporate career!
Amazing
Wow ! It's incredible. :)
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.
She's very talented, I plan to move to the Shetlands in some years.
yo tell me that sheeps arent the cutest thing ever
The views are amazing
wow! Nice video
Awesome
Great video
What a dream job
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
Not a bad price for all the work and material that goes into it.
I just can say You are wonderful
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?
Mmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woolly sweaters!!!!!! Not for deserts and the tropics.
I like the sheeps.
amazing！！！
💕💕💫🙌🏾 she is a boss!!! 🌺
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...
So much work for 120 euro?
160€
Cool !
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.
Wow worth the price I think.
Hi which program is she using for testing the jacquard?
A dream to work in this field for a living. Hello! From Seattle. Another knitted of the world.
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.
I would like a hat!
Does anyone know what machine she was using for the knitting?
Wow ❤
Please let me know do you export your goods as well or they are just for domestic sale and Special Orders ?
Thanks
Wow really fair price
Okay... now I understand the pricing. Wow!
i will pay upto 350 euro fore that natural hand made dress
Happy sheep make the softest wool
Is it possible to buy skeins or balls of Shetland wool yarn and ship to Canada?
The machine is more interesting than hand knitting
great
SO PLEASE HOW MAY I PURCHASE ONE OF THESE DIVINE SWEATERS FROM HER????😍😍😍
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
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?
those look like happy sheep
I assumed that traditional sweaters would be hand not machine knit so i was surprised nit to see that in this video.
She preserved the old heritage
Prizes ?
Can you please write to me, where can I buy a machine like that?
Wow lots of work. No wonder is so expensive.
I'm more interested the island view and the sheep 🐑
Is it always hand made or that's just 4 camera
❤️
