Sandra Johnson and I talking about domestic knitting machines, industrial knitting machines and hand-knitting

This is Sandra Johnson and I talking about the differences between domestic knitting machines, hand knitting and industrial knitting machines. In the background, the shima machine churns on. This is where Sandra works as a linker; she also has a croft in Yell and her own flock of Shetland sheep. I loved meeting Sandra, who has a hand in every part of the wool industry here on Shetland, from growing the wool at the start, to seaming up knitted garments at the end.In this recording she also discusses her work as a freelance machine knitwear linker, and the work she did in this capacity.
