# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Felted Fleece Rug Workshop and Lunch
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 10:30 am
- **Event Description**: Trish O’Meara of Wormit Woolies will lead you through the ancient craft of wet felting to create your very own one of a kind felted fleece rug from the fleece of a living Jacob sheep grown here at Burmieston Farm. Jacob sheep are a domestic breed combining two characteristics, spotted or piebald fleece and horns, often as many as 4. For centuries, they were kept as lawn ornaments for wealthy landowners.  In modern times they are reared for wool, meat and skins.

Wet felting is the oldest form of textile making and has been recognized as a heritage craft in the UK since the 1100’s. It has a rich history in Scotland with something known as ‘Waulking”. Waulking, also known as fulling, is a traditional Scottish process of soaking the fabric in water, followed by rhythmic beating and kneading, typically accompanied by singing Gaelic songs. This process makes the fabric denser and more durable.  

This is a practical workshop but you’ll also get loads of theory along the way. Come prepared for an upper body workout and wear comfortable clothes and appropriate footwear as felting can be physically demanding with part of the process taking place outside. You will be provided with a plastic apron along with everything else needed to create your very own one of a kind felted fleece rug.

Hot and cold drinks plus a delicious homemade lunch is included. If travelling from afar there are on site accommodations available. Please email hello@burmieston.co.uk to register.
