That was brilliant!!!! So informative and captivating....What an interesting life and a National treasure. Thank you!!

That was absolutely incredible! Loved learning all of that. What a wonderful story teller!

You are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this

Loved listening to the history of this wonderful product as I sit here knitting Da Crofter’s Kep with lovely Jamiesons wool sitting by the fire in cold Maritime Canada,

Thank you, Oliver, for all you have done to support Shetland wool. You have spread appreciation and joy throughout the world, you should be very proud of all you have accomplished. Thank you for sharing this history!

Wow, I never expected Maryland to come into this story via Mrs. Lindsay! Proud as a native Marylander myself :)

Love, love, love, your story! Thank you.

Oliver, you are a fantastic storyteller! This is a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing your history with us.

What a treasure you are and I thank you for your many contributions to the world of wool yarn and knitting. May you have many more years of working as you wish as well as enjoyment of family and hobbies.

What an AMAZING story of your life and the history of Jamieson & Smith. Thank you for the giving of your time to make this film and helping to make this company what it is today.

Hello from Kentucky, USA. What a fascinating history! Jamieson & Smith is so fortunate to have found you. Your knowledge is immense, and it's wonderful that you're sharing it and recording it. Thank you for this amazing video and for your giant impact on the world of Shetland wool. I now must buy some Jamieson & Smith for a Fair Isle sweater. Shetland Wool Week is on my bucket list.

Oliver, you are a treasure to Shetland and to the world of knitters and spinners. Thank you!

This man might be kind of dangerous. I could be in danger of sending all my money. Thank you so much Oliver for all you do.

That was amazing! I was stuck to my seat the whole time. Thank you for your memories your hard work for over 50 years(!), and your contributions to Shetland as a whole!!!

A riveting story of passion, hard work and innovation. My uncle ran a sheep farm producing wool in the Karoo. Glad to see South Africa got a mention!👍🏾🙏🏼

What a joy to hear Oliver's story. Thank you !

Wow just loved this I’ve knitted on and off for 40 years but didn’t really appreciate the story for me having not much money and 3 young children it was a way to keep my kids clothed and warm. I have now retired and I’m getting back to my knitting and loving the whole ethos behind how this wool has been developed and will definitely be ordering Shetland yarns Thank you so much

Can I add to my previous comment… sir you should’ve been running this company ! What a wealth of knowledge and you have devoted your life to your job. I definitely hope you’ve received the recognition you deserve x💕

I'll probably not to see this beautiful place in my lifetime, but I so appreciate these history pieces given in such a wonderful tongue. I could listen to many more! Thanks you, sir, for sharing this with us.

Hearing about Shetland wool and the people involved is so interesting. It has been so sad to see knitting being less popular in youngsters today. Many say its the cost involved its cheaper to buy, what they don’t understand its the quality you get when making items yourself and if cared for how much longer they last. The Shetland knitters have proven this last point. Oliver you have spent your adult life committed to the survival of the Shetland wool, well done sir.

Truly amazing! I knew about some of the story, but after watching this video I have even more respect and admiration for Oliver. and I love Jamieson & Smith yarns 💕💕 Wish we had more access to them here in Ontario, Canada

Wow this is AMAZING history as to fhe company and Oliver Henry so inspirational. I so want to meet this man such a treasure. I just am in awe very much so. Bravo Oliver I totally enjoyed this so much.

Fabulously interesting interview, a real treasure. Oliver thank you for sharing your remarkable experiences in the Shetland wool industry.

Fascinating video. Loved hearing about your life and the development of the wool brokers. My mum must have been one of your early “word of mouth” customers and I remember how much I loved it when your wonderful shade cards would arrive. Mum (daughter of crofters) would buy the wool for her lace knitting ( using Gladys Amedro patterns) and she’d always buy me some to make a jumper - I would have been 10 when I first did that. Great memories. Important to have the history of the wool brokers recorded like this. Wonderful 👏👏

The institutional knowledge - what a treasure!! Thanks for sharing - absolutely fabulous!!!

what a brilliant guy all your knowledge through your working with great people in your part of the world ,i fell out with knitting untill recently when i started watching youtube and thought get your real wool out and get crafty im so thankfull that real wool is more joy for me has if you spend time knitting its best to use real wool which lasts a lifetime many thanks for your teachingsx

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this talk with Oliver. Im sure I'll have to watch again to get all the dates straight, but being someone who started working with wool and being employed in the knitting and fibre art world since I was 19,(63 now) I can relate these trends over the years with what we saw here in NA. I can't thank you enough, Wool Man. cheers from NB, Canada

Thank you , your talk was very special .I liked the way you included the crofters and farmers without whom we would not have the wool to knit with .

Oliver is epic! Thanks for sharing such an amazing story

Bravo Old Man…Job well done…God Bless you and yours…xox

Thank you so much! What a wonderful story!

What a wonderful story Oliver and a real treat to hear it straight from the man at the centre of it all .Thanks for the really interesting historical perspective from your professional career .As a spinner I love to learn every aspect of the fibre world . You did an excellent job and I am grateful for your knowledge , humility,cooperative spirit and love for your country .One day this Canadian gal is going to make it to Wool Week in person . Thanks for nurturing a germ of an idea in to such a world class event .

Such a great historian! Thank you for sharing. Very enjoyable.

What a wonderful film! Thank you, Oliver, for sharing your amazing career in Shetland wool.

Wow! what a man. Well done! Stay strong and keep going your doing a fabulous job x

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, as I sat knitting my blanket, on my week off from work. I so hope I can come and visit Shetland Wool Week in the future from my home town of Poole.

Thank you Oliver, its lovely to hear your story and that of Shetland Wool. Coming from Bradford i am aware of some o0f the businesses involved in the production of my most favourite yarns. All being well I will be back in Shetland next year.

Great watch. I'm currently knitting a sweater with Shetland wool here in Japan right now!

This was so enjoyable and emotional for me to listen to this history. I love shetland wool!

What a treasure, Mr. Henry

A pleasure to listen to you. Thank you for your story and all you have done to move us to today.

Thank you for sharing your love for Shetland Wool!

❤️. And congratulations 👏, Oliver

Love this video! I visited England in 1980 and went to a shop where they sold Shetland sweaters. My first sweater purchase. I love this video and I am so glad you have shared this amazing history of the company. I hope I can someday visit Shetland Wool Week. Thank you, Mr. Henry for your spirit and love of Shetland heritage!

Beautiful story.

I am so happy you were able to record all this history - it will help in keeping the skills alive. Thank you.

Fascinating and well told history of your woolly journey, thank you so much 😊

Loved how your personal history, the region's history, and the business history are all knit together. Potent stuff. I will say for my Canadian ears, it took me a few times before I realized you were saying "knitters" and not "nutters"! My Scottish seanair would be horrified :)

I loved his story.

What an amazing life! Thank you for sharing!

Such interesting history. Thank you.

How wonderful. Such an amazing story and time line of Shetland wool. You are a fascinating storyteller. So many thanks.

I completely loved and enjoyed every second of this! As a new knitter, Jameson & Smith is on a page in my maker diary that is entitled “Dream Yarn.” It will no longer be a dream yarn to acquire and work with. It will be an honor!

Thoroughly enjoyed this journey. Thank you! I'm knitting with 1ply Shetland Supreme at the moment.

Thank you Mr. Henry. It was wonderful to hear your story. Thank you so much for sharing.

Fascinating to hear the history of the company and how things have developed over the years - thank you!

Lovely video, and what a treasure to listen to this man share his vast wealth of knowledge. Would love to take a wool sorting/grading class from him. I would also be interested in seeing some wool embroidery floss, there seems to be a real shortage of quality embroidery wools. Thank you for the video!

Hope you were treated (and paid) well for your contribution as you seem to be a big reason that they’ve expanded in size and worth

Very interesting 👍😁🥰🇳🇱thank you!

What a wealth in living!
