- **Event Description**: The ability to spin thread and weave cloth by hand are crafts that people have done for centuries, without these there would be no clothes to wear!

Come and try them for yourself in the drop-in session - feel and smell the sheep's wool, try your hand with a drop spindle and have a go on a spinning wheel. Do you know what a niddy noddy or a lazy Kate is? See if you can make some thread for the weaver to use. Then have a go at weaving on one of the handlooms. Explore the weft and warp, try not to get your threads in a tangle. 

Plus, you can see the fabulous textile displays on the first floor from Gawthorpe Textiles Collection. And a selection of second-hand textile and craft books will also be on sale, if you want something to take home for inspiration. 

This event is on the ground floor, there are some steps to get into the building and between rooms on the ground floor, due to the historic nature of the building there is no lift. 

£7 adult. Children free. No booking required.
