Did Shetlanders knit their own furniture? A talk by Dr Ian Tait
Tuesday, September 27th 2016 6:30pm
Auditorium
Since the first people settled 6,000 years ago Shetlanders lived by self-reliance. They made their own tools, farm and boat equipment, buildings, garments and toys. A knitted shawl was no more or less important to life than a spade; everything was crucial in a subsistence economy.

Doors open at 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start.
Tickets are priced £6.00 and are available online through the Shetland Wool Week Little Box Office or from reception, tel. 01595 741562.
