# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Wool Waulking with Slighe nan Gaidheal
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Mar, 2025 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come learn about and participate in the Scottish Gaelic tradition of waulking the tweed! Waulking is an ancient custom of fulling cloth while singing work songs as the cloth is beaten rhythmically on a table. You’ll be amazed by the transformation of a scratchy, loosely woven wool cloth into a softer, thicker cloth as the weave tightens.

Members of Slighe nan Gàidheal, Washington’s Scottish Gaelic society, have been waulking cloth since October 1995. The group has studied the songs and waulking techniques with tradition-bearers from Scotland and Cape Breton, and developed its own tradition that it believes to be true to Scottish Gaelic heritage.

This unique event is on March 22nd at 2:00 at our shop in Bellingham, WA. We hope to see you there!
