Thursday 2 October 2025, 10-4pm, with lunch
Warwickshire Artisans, Yew Tree Farm Shopping Village, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, HENLEY-IN-ARDEN, Warwickshire, B95 6BY
In this lovely, relaxing one-day course, you will learn how to work with a selection of British Breed wools. Working with textile artist, Penny, you will identify some different wools and other fibres. You will learn how to clean and card the wool. Then you will be taught how to make a ball of wool using a traditional drop spindle. You will then be able to use an easy, small vintage wooden weaving loom to create a small mat or wall hanging. Use your new 'art yarn' fibre that you have just spun, or a selection of lovely commercial wools on a shuttle to create your piece!
Materials and refreshments are included. There is 10% off full priced items in the shop on your workshop day too!
