Wool to Wool

Wool to Wool

The full wool experience, from sheep’s fleece to woollen yarn.
Tuesday 18th November, 11.00-4.00pm.

In a relaxing and fun workshop, we’ll start by discussing and comparing different sheep’s fleece, then use traditional hand carders to create rolags ready for spinning.
We’ll learn how to use a drop spindle to create single ply yarn, and then how to ply two strands together to make 2-ply yarn. You’ll then use a quaintly named niddy-noddy to wind a skein of your very own yarn to take home with you.

Cost £59.00 which includes all materials and light refreshments. And if you love working with wool, drop spindles and fleece will be available to buy after the workshop. Please feel free to bring a packed lunch.
