Feltsket

Feltsket An unique twist on tradional Shetland wool Feltsket is a unique product of Shetland. All our pieces are backed with recycled Fair Isle pattern knitting.

We combine our own hand made felt with recycled Fair Isle knitting to produce a charming, colourful keepsake, a peerie bit o’ Shetland. The name ‘Feltsket’ is suggested by the lovely Shetland dialect word filsket which might be used to describe the play of Shetland lambs, or calves in the spring sunshine: they are vigorous, full of fun, mischievous! The Feltsket range is entirely handmade in Shetl

and by Vivienne and Lizzie Ratter. The wool used in our felt is 100% Shetland, felted on the kitchen table, to produce a fabric at once luxuriously soft, and strong. So you have twice the fun! Our embroidery and other finishing touches reflect the fabulous variety of hue and tone found in Shetland knitting wool, the very same wool or wirset used in Shetland’s world famous product.

Just collected two pairs of dressmaking scissors which were being sharpened by the Shetland Sharpening Service and what a fast and fantastic job! I put the into Polly at Nimble Fingers thursday and collected them this morning. They also do sheep shears and garden shears too.
