SWW Film Series: A style of its own - Knitting from Whalsay

The island of Whalsay has a long history of rich creativity, not least of all for its amazing and colourful knitwear, which has a distinctive Fair Isle style of its own. In this film we hear from Whalsay knitters Linda Shearer and Amanda Pottinger who chat through various garments from the ‘bonnie isle’, their background in knitting, and share some of the hats they’ve knitted based on colour challenges that they have set themselves.
