Shetland Wool Week is the biggest celebration of Shetland wool and traditional knitting in the world. Every autumn we welcome hundreds of visitors – connected by a curiosity and love of the sustainable natural fibre and their islands’ rich textile heritage.
In this film we provide an overview of the Shetland Wool Week event – if you have never attended before we hope that after watching you’ll have a good idea of what to expect at your first SWW. We highlight the extensive range of exhibitions, classes and events that take place throughout the isles – usually including weaving, spinning, dyeing, Fair Isle, lace knitting and more. As well as capturing the community spirit and the joy of connecting with fellow knitters – one of the many things that makes SWW so special.
