Activities day

Five pupils took part in the Maakin and Yakkin activities day this year. It was a glorious day with warm wind, blue skies and sunshine so after a good slathering of sun cream the knitters took it outside. A lovely morning was spent sitting in the sunshine, knitting and eating homebakes with a cup of tea. After lunch we all headed out to the Textile Museum and joined a few local knitters and a spinner. There were a few tourists who came along and were delighted to chat with young Shetland knitters and see the maakin belts in use.
