Shetland Wool Week

October 7th 2013

It's Wool Week in Shetland and the place is buzzing with visitors. There are talks, visits, workshops and so much more packed into the week. Although it's too late for this year why not think about coming up next year for the week. You don't need to wait until Wool Week to find out more about Shetlands textile traditions – there are several museums, shops and workshops you can visit to find out more about Fair Isle, weaving and even Tattit Rugs!

And if you stay at Belmont you'll find out about the wonderful Unst Shetland Lace knitters.

What Our Guests Say

The moment, nearly two years ago, when I learned of what was being done at Belmont I said to myself “I must have a bit of that, and for the Solstice!” Straightaway I began to pester the Trustees and got what I wanted.... The reality fully justified the dream: you have done so well. And a great place to bring nine friends.

It is just fabulous – what a wonderful setting overlooking Bluemull with its ever-changing light, and the little ferry to-ing and fro-ing. I shall miss it when back home in the bowels of South London.
