Spinning A Yarn's Tale

Episode 4 - Fair Isle: The Not So Ancient Art


Listen Later

This week we're going over the brief history and culture surrounding Fair Isle! There's some....... Misconceptions about this supposedly ancient way of knitting. But! I think my favorite part this week is about how fair isle came to the Fair Isles. I know it sounds a little redundant, but trust me, it's a good one!
