"Shona's story": 
"Jo, your fleeces went to Natural Fibre Co
and became part of Blacker Yarns' St Kilda Laceweight"
I bought some at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival to make something for you.
I hope you enjoy knowing that your sheep helped make this yarn...
The pattern is a traditional Shetland lace pattern called
​"Peerie Beads and Diamonds", 
found in the Legacy of Shetland Lace Book
by the Shetland Spinners, Weavers, Knitters and Dyers Guild"
(Shona Mason, Dundee)
"Thank-ewe, Shona"!
