This popular, informal event is a lovely way to round off Shetland Wool Week (ends Saturday 4 October).
Katie and family host woolweekers, locals and tutors in the interesting surroundings of Hoswick Visitor Centre.
Peruse the local history displays – the building used to be Hoswick’s weaving shed – and browse the craft shop (card payments welcome).
Less than 100 metres away, the Nielanell studio will also be open 10am-4pm. We’re open daily during Shetland Wool Week.
