Lovely to visit Fair Isle with Rachel and meet her sheepy family. Course I love Corrinne and Maggie and all that lovely yarn.

So love Rachel's postcards. I find her life on Fair isle is so enjoyable and it seems she has a great adaptation as to the weather. I love how the weather changes so quickly. Loved again also meeting her Lambs and Rams so love how she knows everybody . .Cant wait to meet all the lambs.
Good things in the shop💕 Great to see you and Maggie. Maggie I love your green Love Note.its going to be amazing. Loved the ending Yoga. I find the breathing is key as when I used to do Yoga the breathing and poses helped my control my stress. Great Shopcast.Thankbl you. Until next time.

I always enjoy the shop podcast. Not only viewing the luscious yarn, the enticing samples and WIPS, but then you add Rachel’s Croft update and Kim’s yoga for our enjoyment. Thank you

Love Rachel and her sheep. New website look is a winner

[audreyabbott]

Shop updates are always fun but I really love watching the luckiest sheep on earth and their Shepherdess!

[colleenconlan]

Rachel's postcards are such a treat. It's astonishing that she can remember all those different names for her sheep and even tell one sheep from another...so many sheep, so many names! Must be really good for her cognitive function! Love to see the sheep and look forward to the lambs.

[sueemmons]

I just love seeing Rachel and all of the cute sheep! And really looking forward to the babies! Boy, I tried the yoga this week for my back pain and it really helps with the stress and is going to go with my stretching as another great tool! Thank you so much!

I didn't have the time to watch this episode until Sunday and it was such a joy to finally sit down with a WIP and drink in all of the woolly goodness. I can't wait to see Maggie's Love Note as an FO! And Rachel is so generous to share her crofting adventures with us. I love that she knows each sheep and their names are so much fun....go Sauce Pan!

[tinaw]

I was looking forward to the shopcast all week. I love your Star Cardigan and all of the WIPs. I am very excited for the Hap-along and keep adding hap patterns to my queue. The J & S Laceweight Supreme is calling my name. I always enjoy Rachel’s segments. Thank you for an enjoyable, inspiring shopcast.

[jmdes]

I just adore Rachel's videos and admire her skill and poise in caring for her little croft and animals. It brings great joy to share a little window into her life.

[MultiKnitter]

Lovely to see all the woolly goodness and wips going on at the Woolly Thistle. Rachel you amaze me that you can identify every single sheep...they are very individual and unique but golly it just amazes me that you know them all. Love all your wonderful updates. NancyKnot

[wendyknopp]

Thank you for another great podcast. It's always fun seeing what's new, but I love the "postcard" from Fair Isle. Seeing where some of the gorgeous yarn comes from is wonderful. I also enjoy the knitters yoga too. Always a great reminder to take care of our bodies.

[karenhager]

It took me over a week, but finally found a chance to finish this shopcast! Yarns as always are so beautiful. Grey Sheep is one I look forward to trying. Always enjoy Rachel's Postcards - fingers crossed that lambing went well and spring is arriving.

[viviankeh]

Thank you for another great video! I so enjoy all of Rachel's segments from Barkcroft - learning more and more about how she raises her sheep adds another whole dimension to our work with fiber. Loved being introduced to sheep by names and found myself saying hi to each one out loud haha! Rachel, wow I am floored by all the unplanned lambing you will now be having from the unexpected visitors!

[robertacaruthers]

So nice to see the sun out for Rachel ❤. I cannot imagine all the rain and snow she endures. It takes a special person to care for all the sheep. I hope the lambing goes well.
I am intrigued by the new lace weights. I need to research some patterns. Beautiful colors!

[annewheeler]

I loved the star cardi that corrie was wearing. I went right away and saved it. I loved the postcard from
Fair isle. I'm looking forward to seeing the lambs. Thank you for your newsy shopcast!

[carywolking]

I enjoyed watching/listening as I casted on my first sweater for the second time. But no tears from me, I love yarn and the process is very important to me at this point in my journey. I had the front and back hems finished, working on the body and the body gauge was way off from my swatch. A few months ago I would have cried but now after a sweater workshop at my local yarn store and watching podcasts like yours, I realize it's not the end of the world. I'm currently on spring break and as I listened and watched Rachel, I thought of how much my first grade students would enjoy watching her and listening to her talk all about the croft.
Thank you for giving us inspiration and entertainment. Blessings to all at The Wooly Thistle

[biddy]

Another fanta stic episode, many thanks. Enjoyed Rachel, especially, look forward to seeing the lambs. What a great memory Rachel has remembering all the sheep's names.

[pattyg]

So many yarn selections, I love it. Thank you for the Shopcast. I can see a Love Note in my future. A special thanks to Rachel, for giving me a better understanding of a crofter’s life. I’m praying for healthy lambs for the up coming lambing season. Rachel you are certainly a woman of fortitude. I look forward to the link to the yoga channel. Thank you very much.

[hannahcarroll]

What a lovely shopcast! Over the past few weeks, I have had a somewhat difficult recovery from a surgery, and one of the things that has helped me relieve some of that stress has been watching these updates. I actually try to pace myself through them so I don't have to wait so long for the next to come out! And as always, I love Rachel's segment. Her sheep have so much character!
