LadyBug Spinning was inspired when I sold my old spinning wheels to purchase my Schacht LadyBug spinning wheel. This blog follows my journey with spinning, knitting, and natural dying. As you see, this blog is about "playing" with fiber and includes some highlights from a visit to Scotland's Islands... Shetland, Orkney, and the Outer Hebrides.

We've Arrived On Shetland
This is out there! And up north! Arrived early evening to crisp, cool, sea air. A few photos then to bed.
Our Hotel!
Out our window at 11:00 PM!!! What the locals call the "simmer dim"
Night. Walking through Lerwick, Shetland's capital tomorrow and a visit to Jamison's and Smith Yarn. Will include a talk with a fleece expert who will talk to us about the various breeds on Shetland and the fleece to yarn process! Let the sheepy fun begin! Baahhhaaaa!
Mary PS - there are 23,000 people on Shetland and 14Xs that many sheep!
